This project will develop students' knowledge and understanding of
3-dimensional design by firstly, looking at the surrounding
structures of the Clyde waterfront (bridges & architecture) and
secondly, applying this knowledge in a real life context as
designers trying to win a bid to produce a new line of jewellery
for an exclusive project: a new boutique that has opened on the
Clyde waterfront.
Broad Outcomes of learning
• Subject knowledge gained and enhanced e.g. the Design process,
working to constraints (design brief, intended market etc);
learning how to use various materials and techniques e.g. first
experimenting with paper leading onto work with copper, plastics
and glass enamelling.
• Enterprise skills enhanced (CfE) - confidence in applying self to
task and achieving outcomes, effective communication and
contribution to achieve, independent learning as well as working
with others, responsibility to meeting needs of others
• Develop employability skills: application of knowledge in a real
situation by being able to follow a brief, by being in competition
with others and by presenting finished product to a selected panel
(selling your product also relates to selling oneself in an
interview situation).
• Learners have developed enterprising skills identified as 4
capacities of CfE
Relevance to curriculum
• Supports CfE Art, students will work with the visual elements:
line, shape, form, texture and colour
• Relevance of how curriculum topic on jewellery design is relevant
to work and life (everything
that you see around has been through the design process) and how
this subject knowledge is put into practice in a real situation
