Timber Designers Research Task worksheet

Although designers have many innovative materials available, timber still attracts and inspires them. We have access to so many inspiring timber art pieces, furniture designs and other project designs. Students should know about the creators behind them.

This research task will help students discover the lives and inspirations behind timber designers and show their understanding in a written presentation style format. Great as a filler lesson towards the end of the term, an introduction for a term on a timber elective or set for when the regular teacher is absent. This task provides a range of examples of timber designers students can choose to research, a range of questions they need to answer within their research and a score/marking form. This is one of my go to lessons to keep students engaged.
