Content, Form, Process, Mood Artist Lesson

(4)
A simple introduction to Content Form Process Mood terminology in Art & Design. This could be adapted and is a great way to introduce almost any artist(s) the students may be studying in any given scheme as it can be altered easily whilst maintaining the same structure. Lesson consists of group work; a ‘warm-up’ task and then application as a 30 second presentation to their peers. Also included is a CFPM game that could be used as an extension activity. If you found this useful, please review. FREE

A full scheme of work for you to try, for free. I hope your students enjoy it! This outstanding, creative scheme of work covers the full iterative design process where students design and prototype a water bottle that works together with an app. Inquiry: ‘Making better connections between digital and physical technologies can lead to more innovative, resourceful products.’ Lessons are differentiated with strong cross-curricular (literacy) links that align with the design and technology curriculum. The project requires very few resources and any apps used are free and cloud based. The project can be adapted for different physical and/or digital learning spaces. Included is a digital portfolio which follows the full design process in line with the design and technology curriculum. The portfolio can be delivered digitally, printed or used as a guide. Student/teacher examples are also included. Lessons include: ♦ Ergonomics and Anthropometrics theory. ♦ Internet of Things theory. ♦ Understanding and writing a design brief. ♦ Improving Ergonomics (optional) ♦ Writing a design specification for a particular user and client. ♦ User-centered design and user research methods. ♦ Ideation strategies. ♦ Sketching techniques: isometric, orthographic. ♦ Prototyping in foam, card or 3D printing (depending on learning space). ♦ UX design and wireframing an app. ♦ UI design and protyping a clickable prototype of an app. – If you enjoyed this project/scheme of work.
