SHS3 Art And Design Studio · Semester 2 Week 6: Fabrication and Construction

Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 3.2.2.LI.3 - Design and create 3-dimensional mixed media artworks using materials, appropriate tools and processes in response to challenges within selected disciplines of study such as education, engineering, health, architecture, agriculture, etc.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify and document at least three real problems within selected disciplines (education, health, agriculture, engineering, architecture) in their local community that can be addressed through 3-dimensional mixed media artwork.
Select and justify appropriate scavenged and local materials, tools and subtractive processes for a planned 3-dimensional mixed media artwork.
Create a 3-dimensional mixed media artwork that responds to a specific identified community challenge, applying at least two distinct materials and one subtractive technique.
Present and explain their finished artwork to peers, describing the problem it addresses, the materials and processes used, and how the work offers a solution.
Assess their own and peers’ artworks against agreed criteria, giving constructive feedback using art and design vocabulary.

Curriculum details

Strand: Creative Methodologies (Strand 2)
Sub-strand: Fabrication and Construction (2.2)
Content standard: 3.2.2.CS.2 - 3.2.2.CS.2 Demonstrate knowledge and application of subtractive processes and techniques for making three-dimensional artwork with local materials and relevant studio skills. 3.2.2.LO.2 Use multiple methods, including additive and subtractive processes and techniques, and materials in the environment to create 3- Dimensional mix-media artwork as a solution to a specific social problem
Indicator: 3.2.2.LI.3 - Design and create 3-dimensional mixed media artworks using materials, appropriate tools and processes in response to challenges within selected disciplines of study such as education, engineering, health, architecture, agriculture, etc.
Suggested placement: Semester 2, Week 6 (Week 26 of the year)
Our suggestion, laid out in curriculum order across three terms of twelve weeks. NaCCA does not fix the week, so follow your school's scheme of learning.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Problem-Based Learning; Experiential Learning: In small gender-sensitive groups use available resources to investigate selected disciplines of study to document problems/challenges that can be addressed with art and design works.
Project-Based Learning: In smaller groups, design and create 3-dimensional mixed media art and design works using scavenged materials from the environment, appropriate tools and processes in response to challenges within selected disciplines of study.

Assessment (3.2.2.AS.3). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 3 Strategic reasoning; Level 4 Extended critical thinking and reasoning.
