Artefact Production · SHS1 Art And Design Studio

Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 1.3.1.LI.2 - Apply safety measures in creating art and design work with special attention to protective and decorative processes to create artwork.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify at least five specific safety hazards associated with protective and decorative processes (such as spraying, varnishing, carving, and bleaching) and explain the risk each poses.
Demonstrate correct handling of tools, materials, and equipment used in protective and decorative processes, including proper ventilation, protective clothing, and safe storage.
Apply at least three safety measures when executing a practical task that combines a protective process (e.g., varnishing or oiling) and a decorative process (e.g., painting or incising) on a wooden artefact.
Evaluate a completed artwork and its production process, identifying where safety measures were correctly applied and where improvements could be made.
Create a simple safety checklist or pictorial guide that summarises the key safety rules for protective and decorative processes in the art studio.
