“I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It’s about space and form and it’s something you can share with other people.” Donna Karan
We want this to be an inspiring subject that will encourage you to consider a wide range of approaches to expressing yourself through different materials, media and techniques. It will help you gain knowledge and understanding of art, craft, design, media and technologies today and in the past, and in different societies and cultures. You’ll also develop an understanding of the different roles, audiences and consumers for art, craft and design. You’ll experience different work practices and look at relevant processes and equipment too
Year 6 Three Dimensional Design
Our fully equipped three dimensional workshop at senior school will be a place of creative discovery for year 6 pupils.
Learning how to use hand tools to create a variety of exciting projects including bug hotels and clay aliens.
All pupils will gain confidence by working with tools and equipment in a safe and creative environment. Pupils start by designing their models and understanding how to build and construct the models before embarking on the making process. Reflecting and evaluating whilst learning which are the best materials for each 3D design creation.
KS3 Three Dimensional Design
Our fully equipped three dimensional workshop at senior school will be a place of creative discovery for year 7,8 & 9 pupils
Learning how to create a variety of exciting projects investigating clay, textiles, wood, plastics and plaster.
Pupils will explore different construction techniques and processes. All final outcomes that are produced will be 3D, however, all preparatory work will contain work in other media. It is important to produce drawings for both research and the designs. Our workshop includes a vacuum former and oven, belt sander, pillar drill, sewing machines, kiln, laser cutter, 3D printer, fret saws and all hand tools.
