*Design*Analyse*Dynamic*Vibrant*Different Eras:-Victorian-Medieval-Renaissance-Roman*Composition/layout

Promoting Creativity/ Use of Multiple Learning styles (VAK):

Creativity: Visual Recording: Learners will be encouraged to think about how to create a dynamic postcard ‘s based on inspiration from postcards from different Era’s and questions to help them to think about how to best go about their designs.

Visual: Learner’s will have the opportunity to see images of different postcard designs from different eras, cultures and backgrounds.

Auditory: Learners be asked questions to help them think about how to create their postcards.

Kinaesthetic: Learners will be required to experiment with and create their own postcards.

Assessment opportunities:

AFLSelf Assessment : Peer evaluation: Learners to look at each others work : chose 4 students to ask what has been successful and what can be improved as well as to complete the self evaluation sheet at the end. PLTS:

Context of this Lesson (Summary of groups’ learning over past 3 weeks):

This is the first lesson for the star skills which focuses on helping the students to develop further skills, qualities and attitudes that contribute to their education. These cover such skills as social, thinking skills, being reflective, self manager etc . There are many more skills being developed as a result of having star skills. The one in Art and Design particularly focuses on developing their design abilities through a range of different design tasks that could include; research, problem solving, working as a group, logo design amongst many others.

Word search on key words, design, to complete in pairs

Explain the aims of the day and key words (as stated above).

Make sure each student has a question sheet to help them to think about the 12 designs as well as a coloured photocopy of

the 12 different postcard designs from different eras and cultures to be completed individually.

Share back what some of the students have written down for their questions and answers.

To think about themes that relate to this modern day topics as a group(write on board suggestions made from the whole

group) : such as information in the media, adverts, news, their neighbourhoods. Refer to key words.

Students to do a brainstorm on lined paper

Students should start to plan out 6 possible postcard designs (A4 plain paper) that symbolize something about this modern era. As well as to think about which materials to use. Refer to

key words.

AFL: Students to walk around and see what each student has started to design: chose 4 to come to the front to pick which one has been the most successful and why and what can be

improved.

Students to either carry on with their design’s or to start their final postcard design on A5 card/paper.

To add colours/different materials: using watercolours, pastels, colouring pencil, tissue paper etc

Please note: this can be carried on after lunch if needed and there is a final project evaluation to be completed individually

at the beginning of period 5 and 6
