Arts and Crafts
Year Group: 7, 8, 9, 10 Subject Area: Humanities (Arts), Design and Technology (D&T) Brief details of Idea: During the pathfinder project students have worked on a variety of Arts and Crafts based projects. Some of the projects have been mini-enterprise based where the students have developed their own art work and then sold their work within the school or at trade fairs. Young Enterprise and NFTE have assisted with these enterprises (www.young-enterprise.org.uk & www.nfte.org.uk). Projects included a Year 8 group of girls who have designed handbags and a group of students who have produced calligraphy, vase decorating and plate decorating. A further project for Year 9 has been to introduce the idea of enterprise, creativity, innovation and Business using silk screen printing. Projects have considered market research taking account of client / user needs and detailed analysis of the wide variety of existing products. Lessons in creative design have drawn from the new KS3 strategy for creativity in design and technology. Various types of industrial printing methods and types of production have been covered with a focus on batch production and screen-printing using an industrial style carousel. ICT has been used to scan, manipulate and then colour separate images ready for transfer to multiple colour screens. We have worked with the London College of Printing (http://www.lcc.arts.ac.uk/index.htm)
who have provided a 5 days mini apprenticeship for
15 students to introduce them to all aspects of printing including
book design, book binding, digital screen printing, ceramics, working
with
different materials etc. The projects have taught a number of enterprise and entrepreneurial skills from market research, product design, manufacturing, cost accounting, marketing, sales, book keeping etc.
