I named these top trumps when I made them, but what I use them for in class now is to give to pupils as simple guides to materials. I printed them four slides to a page and put a key ring through them to hold them together, I use them a lot during research and revision.
Each side has a table showing the different properties of different adhesives. I use them in class by printing them out has a hand out, cut them up laminating them. (Once laminated I can keep reusing them for different classes).
Folder a piece of A4 in half x3. This is about generating ideas quickly. Dont worry about making pretty sketches just so someone can see the idea. Pupils should quickly design an object for the client they see on the screen. Once time is up get pupils to hold up their ideas, quickly go round and check them, then straight to the next. The 2nd I use for year 9 to show why client research is important, the more you know the better you can design. This is good when pupils say 'I cant design' you can show them a page of designs. Clients/object are easy to change to fit projects also play with time
I have just collected some different images from a range of (I think) cool designers. I have printed these out and put them of my workshop wall. I have linked these designers to my homework these year
Worksheet where pupils are to design clocks for a range of different clients. How does their design change to match their client? Made on PP so client images or object they are to design is easy to change to fit your topic.
Project where pupils design and make their own modern version of a Memento mori image. Pupils to practice images in their sketch book (this can be done has home work) then they design a final image on larger paper.
