Designing Your Piece...
Term 2:
Keyring Project!
Pewter casting would look a little different to how we do it! What are the differences?
What on earth is this??
Risk Assessment:
This is where you identify anything (tools/ materials) that could cause injury or harm when in a workshop.
It is important to do this so you know how to avoid injury:
Assessment Criteria
Level 2 - Your Styrofoam Key Fob has not been marked out accurately. Therefore the edges are at the wrong angles and the hole is in the incorrect position.
Task 1: Carry out a risk assessment of the tools we are going to be using, this will include:
*A picture of the tool
*A rating from 1- 5 (1= high risk of injury, 5= low risk of injury)
*A description of how to use it safely and what to do to avoid injury
Using the coping saw, create additional pieces for your pewter key ring using acrylic.
I am going to be creating a prototype of a key ring.
To do this I will need:
70mm x 50mm acrylic (plastic)
A file
A coping saw
A Pillar drill with 5mm diameter drill
Fine sand paper
Units of measurement:
In technology the are all kinds of measurements, but to measure the length of sides of a product, we use centimeters and millimeters....
Lesson Objectives:
All students: Will understand basic units of measurement and how to construct them (Level 3c)
Most Students: Will understand how carry out a risk assessment before a practical task
Some students: Will b
Match up the different metals to their uses and properties:
Big Picture:
To understand units of measurement and construct accurate technical drawings.
How many different kinds of metal can you list?
20 vivos for the most!
Task 1: Complete the 6 questions on your paper to audit knowledge of measurements and units of measurement
An element means the metal is made of one pure material e.g. Iron comes straight from the core of the earth
An alloy is where two or more metals have been mixed together to create a new material with more desirable properties e.g. Pewter (Made from Tin, Copper and Silver)
1) Iron, Steel, Copper, Pewter, Aluminium, Zinc, Tin, Magnesium...
2) Elements (e.g. Iron- just made from 1 material)
Alloys- Made from a mixture of 2 or more metals (e.g. Steel is made from Iron and Copper)
Mini Quiz:
1) Name 2 different examples of metals
2) What are the 2 different types of metals, and how are these different?
Time Limit: 4 Mins
Hand File- Risk (4) The file has small teeth which can cause skin irritation, when using the file, work must be placed in a vice to hold it steady. Never walk around with a file.
Acrylic- Risk (5) Largely harmless, however if this is burned it is carcinogenic (gives off fumes which can cause you to have lung problems).
Sand Paper- Risk (4) Must be used carefully to avoid irritation to skin.
Pillar Drill- Risk (2) Drill bit revolving at speed is quite sharp, and has the potential to puncture the skin. Goggles must be worn to avoid any material getting in to the eyes. Must know where the emergency stop button is in case of emergency.
Level 3 - Your Styrofoam Key Fob is approximately the correct dimensions (+/- 1mm). Most corners are 45˚.
Key Rules:
1) Remember the pouring hole! This is cut off at the end, but you need it for the pewter to pour in to the mould!
2) KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid!!) There is no point creating a design that is too difficult, it wont work because we rely on gravity for the metal to pour in to the mould!
1. Create a design... this must not be too complicated, otherwise it will be too difficult to cut out by hand, and will not work when we pour the metal. The Design needs a "Pouring Hole"
2. Draw the outline of the design on to the piece of MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard)
3. Cut this design out carefully using a coping saw. The work must be in a vice. This is called the "Mould"
4. Place the Mould in between 2 pieces of wood and clamp in the vice with the pouring hole facing up.
Key Rules:
1) Remember the pouring hole! This is cut off at the end, but you need it for the pewter to pour in to the mould!
2) KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid!!) There is no point creating a design that is too difficult, it wont work because we rely on gravity for the metal to pour in to the mould!
Corrugated metal- resistant to wear and good for floors!
Time limit- 5 minutes
What's the point being a
designer if you can't use a ruler???
Level 4 - Your Styrofoam Key Fob is the correct dimensions. All four corners are sanded off at 45˚. The hole is central and in the correct position.
Cent: (French for 100- 100 cm in one metre)
Mille: (French for 1000- 1000mm in one metre)

Mood Board Example
Memphis Design...
Which of the design movements is your favourite?
Homework:
Create a sketch of one of the Design Classics we discussed.
E.g. Mini, Phone Box,
Concorde.
"A particular style that many products are designed in, at a particular time"
This is typically related to the "fashions" that we discussed earlier.
Homework:
Due in Thursday
Create a mood board of different MEMPHIS DESIGN PRODUCTS
Why?
What product would you like to see designed in this style?
Art Nouveau was a decorative style applied to the surface of products
ranging from buildings, tea pots, chairs and wallpaper.
It is characterised by lines that flow in patterns.
An example of a designer who used this style was Charles Rennie Macintosh
Task 1: Cut out the 4 pictures and put them in the order of years you think they were made.
This was a Dutch modern movement using strong geometrical images with pure colour and form.
They focused on using materials to create shapes that were simple, and where function was more important that form
An example of a famous Bauhaus designer is Walter Gropius
Discuss in pairs: What could a design movement be?
The Memphis Group was an Italian design and architecture group started by Ettore Sottsass
The group produced and exhibited furniture and design objects that used bright vivid colours, and geometric shapes.
Art Deco was a rejection of the over complicated designs of the
time.
It combined the decoration of Art Nouveau
with the simple functional style of the Bauhaus.
Features of Art Deco are its simple clean lines with striking colours
Cheap industrial materials such as plastics, metals and concrete
were used together
with expensive natural materials such as silver, ivory and crystal.
e.g. I like the Memphis style because the shapes and colour they use are eye- catching!
I would like to see a car designed in this style.

Discussion...
A drawing that shows a real object with accurate sizes
except they have all been reduced or enlarged by a
certain amount (called the scale).
Draw a line of 10cm.
You have 1 minute to discuss with the person next to you what you think "scale" is in design....
Big Picture:
Create an A4 Poster on "Architecture"
You need to show:
- What it is
- Famous Architects
- Pictures of Architecture
1:1 The drawing I create is exactly the same size as the product I am drawing
1:10 The drawing I create is 10 times smaller than the actual product
10:1 The drawing I create is 10 times bigger than the actual product
Do you think you managed to improve your rendering?
What went well? e.g. "I quickly managed to create hatching because I could use the ruler
What could have improved? e.g. "I could have done with some more time to practice my drawing of the cube..."
All Students: Will be able to explain the concept of "Scale" (Level 3)
Most Students: Will be able to create drawings that demonstrate scaling up and scaling down, describing this application to real life. (Level 4)
Some Students: Will be able to define "dimensioning" and explain it's purpose in design. (Level 5)

Rendering: A posh way to say shading!!!
To show size and scale
Communicate ideas for products
Write the date and the title: Sketching Skills
It's all about confidence, and not being scared to make mistakes!
Like the exercise you have done before, we will count down from 5s to 1s- use the underlay sheet to trace the circuit design.
TIP: Don't rush to begin with! The idea is to get used to controlling your pencil for freehand sketching! :) GOOD LUCK!
There are 3 main kinds of rendering (you may come across these in ART too!)
