Graphics week 13: Review of progress

P2 M2 D2 use graphic media, techniques and technology to meet a design brief (coherently & independently)


Learning Objectives (this lesson you will):
1. Discuss and record how successful the project has been
2. Complete peer assessment to identify areas of strength and weakness
3. Individually set targets to assist completion of the project
4. Review discussion and record any further thoughts

10 mins Starter: Your thoughts
As a whole group, discuss and record your thoughts about the Tilgate project.
On 1 sheet of paper record what's gone well 
and on a 2nd sheet what could have gone better.
Nominate a person from the group to write on each sheet on behalf of the rest of the group as you discuss.

30 mins Group assessment
Use the assessment sheets provided to complete a peer assessment as instructed by the teacher.
Identify areas where you're missing opportunities for merit and distinction criteria. Stick this sheet in the back of your sketchbook as a record.




15 mins Individual target setting
Set targets to complete the project. Remember that this unit focuses on the use of graphic materials, techniques and technologies so your targets should focus on any of the following areas:

  • Save your completed poster design (including your logo) in the poster folder on the server
  • Save your completed leaflet design (including your logo) in the leaflet folder on the server
  • Complete annotations throughout your book to emphasise your use of graphic materials, techniques and technologies
  • Complete any outstanding evaluations and reviews that explain your use of graphic materials, techniques and technologies
  • Complete any outstanding analysis of artists and their work (comparing their use of graphic materials, techniques and technologies with your own)
Aim to have 3 targets to complete or improve your work. Identify any specific tasks that you need to complete or revisit to boost your marks. Improvements could be:
  • Improving techniques to improve your outcomes
  • Writing more in-depth (more research or more personal response)
  • Including more images as examples of artwork (comparing them to your own work)
Record your targets in the back of your book so you can 
refer to them and they can be reviewed next lesson.


10 mins Plenary
Having reviewed your progress and discussed the project, can you add anything else to the 2 sheets from the start of the lesson? Do you all agree with what's been written?

Graphics week 12: Leaflet research & ideas

P2 M2 D2 use graphic media, techniques and technology to meet a design brief (coherently & independently)




LESSON 1


Learning Objectives (this lesson you will):
1. Discuss what makes a successful leaflet design
2. Mindmap ideas for your own leaflet outcome
3. Research possible content for your leaflet outcome
4. Review ideas and research 


This week and next week you will be designing a leaflet to accompany your poster to promote Tilgate Park.

Your leaflet will be printed on double sided A4 paper 
and folded into 3 sections.

10 mins Starter: Your thoughts
As a whole group, pass around and take a look at the leaflet examples provided. What works well and why? What doesn't work well and why?

15 mins Mindmap
Look at the leaflet examples provided and in your sketchbook create a group mindmap of ideas for your leaflet content. Consider the following points:
  • Target audience
  • Specific leaflet themes (ie kids, conservation, fitness, seasonal etc)
  • Possible imagery
  • Key information
  • Materials/techniques

LESSON 2

    30 mins Tilgate research
    In pairs, use the internet to research Tilgate and what ideas you might include in your leaflet. Use the mindmap as a guide and find out as much information as you can. Also use the leaflet examples to help you.

    Present in your sketchbook a written proposal for your leaflet. Include the following:
    • Who you will target
    • Your leaflet theme
    • What images you might use (own photos, own artwork)

    • Front cover- main information & images
    • Other imagery- photos, illustrations, maps
    • Information about Tilgate- how will you inform and attract visitors?
    • Factual information- how to get there, website etc
