SHS1 Art And Design Studio · Semester 2 Week 7: Fabrication and Construction

Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 1.2.2.LI.2 - Design and create 3D artworks using conventional and non-conventional materials, tools, and relevant processes to respond to societal problems.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

identify at least three societal problems in their immediate environment that can be addressed through 3D art and design works.
generate and sketch a minimum of three annotated design ideas for a 3D artwork that responds to a chosen societal problem.
construct a miniature 3D mixed-media artwork using at least two conventional materials and two non-conventional materials, applying an appropriate joining or forming process.
explain in writing or orally the steps they followed in designing and creating their 3D artwork, justifying their material and process choices.
evaluate their own and peers’ finished works using agreed criteria, giving and receiving constructive feedback.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Experiential Learning: Embark on an educational trip/Virtual field trips to workshops and studios, watch videos/photos etc. to explore how hand-building/hand-forming techniques such as weaving, carving, sewing, forging, metalsmithing, modelling, slabbing, coiling, throwing, construction, joinery etc. are used to create 3-D artworks
Project-Based Learning: Develop multiple annotated drawings and sketches, maquettes, prototypes, etc. to be used as initial ideas for creating 3D art and design works in response to problems in society.
Project-Based Learning: Create miniature 3D mix-media art or design works using conventional and non-conventional materials and viable tools and processes in a single artwork.
