SHS3 Art And Design Studio · Semester 2, Week 5

Fabrication and Construction

Lesson notes

Learning Objectives

Indicator: 3.2.2.LI.2 - Discuss materials and method of fabrications in relation to additive and subtractive processes and techniques, together with any other applicable methods for creating 3-Dimensional mix-media artwork.

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

  1. Define additive and subtractive processes in 3-dimensional artwork fabrication using accurate studio terminology.
  2. Identify and classify at least four local materials according to whether they are best suited for additive, subtractive, or combined fabrication methods.
  3. Explain at least three “other applicable methods” (such as assemblage, casting, and construction) and match them with appropriate tools and materials.
  4. Analyse a sample 3-D mixed-media artwork and verbally distinguish which parts were made by additive processes and which by subtractive processes.
  5. Generate a group table (manual or digital) categorising fabrication processes, tools, materials, and example artworks.

Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Group Work/ Collaborative Learning: In convenient groups that respect different skill sets, analyse the types of additive and subtractive processes, tools, materials and techniques as well as other applicable methods for creating 3-Dimensional mix-media artwork in class discussions.
Problem-Based Learning; Group Work/ Collaborative Learning: - Examine 3-Dimensional mix-media artwork done using additive and subtractive processes together with other applicable methods for creating 3-D artwork using photos, videos and realia.
Project-Based Learning; Group Work/ Collaborative Learning: In small groups, generate a manual and digital table to categorise additive and subtractive processes and other applicable methods for creating 3-D artworks.

Assessment (3.2.2.AS.2). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 2 Skills of conceptual understanding; Level 3 Strategic reasoning; Level 4 Extended critical thinking and reasoning.
