to be handed in after October half term

Please make sure that things in your folder are up to date. Is it all...

Annotated?
Looking punchy and vibrant?
Free of nasty big white spaces?
Oh... and I can't remember... I'm not sure, but did I possibly mention ANNOTATED?!?

The new work to be completed:
Don't forget those developments of your chosen initial idea. Let's see different ways of fastening the card (slots, velcro pads, etc) explored, along with variations of colour schemes, different clock number types (if you are using numbers; you might just be using markers for the 3,6,9,12) etc, etc. Refer to the pictures of your white models uploaded on photobucket.com in the lordbills folder which you will find if you click here.

Developments are a bit like trying out different trim, interiors, door fastenings, colour schemes etc on a new model of car. To quote the marking sheets in your folder...


Research the materials that you could use for your product and present these on your paper. Find out if there are any pre-manufactured components that you could use in your product, for example joggle eyes, velcro pads and different types of card and paper.


Please take your card clocks home, disassemble them and put the parts opened out on paper. They are in a large card box on a shelf in C10.

It would be great if you managed to download the picture of your clock model, print them off and put them on an A3 sheet (um, possibly annotated as well...) but not essential; you can do that at school.

All the best, and perhaps relax a little now and then during the week off... it would be so easy to get to the time we come back and suddenly realise you had spent ALL the time working on your Graphics folder...

Homework for Tuesday, 21st October, 2008

Please do a sheet called....

PLAN OF MAKING

Write down what you have to do to make the clock. Do this in the form of a table with the different processes involved (for example, drawing, colour, cutting out) and put in the order you are to do them in. Have boxes on the right so you can tick off when you have done them. Include how long each process will take. I am not asking you to look into your crystal ball... just make a rough estimate of how long each process will take!

For an example, you can click and look.... here.

For 14th October, 2008

Four more designs for the clock by next Tuesday, please. Really let your hair down and be creative about these... pretend it is an Art project.

Use collage or paint, if you want. Charcoal, ballpoint pen, fineliner.... anything. Let's see something that is really exciting to look at.

Be free with lines and smudgy, if you like... or you may want to collage different colours and textures and then paint on top... or you may like to do one totally differently with a pen ruler, for example.

The only way this homework can be 'wrong' is if you are too timid in your approach!
