THE BRIEF
Scenario
A new Contemporary design boutique called ‘Eco Warriors’ will be opening in the Northern Quarter in Manchester and they are looking for unique and original stock to sell.
They are targeting ‘up and coming’ designers who have handcrafted their designs and used recycled or sustainable materials.
The shop will sell a wide range of household and fashion items from, lampshades, jewellery, clothing, decorative plates and artwork.
Through your investigation of recycled objects and materials you are to complete assignments to enable you to work towards the end product(s) that could be displayed and sold in the shop.
You will need to think carefully about the materials you select to use, the quality of design and attention to detail.
TASK 1- STARTER
Read over this text, share your findings with a partner make notes and discuss.
For this unit learners need to investigate techniques of creative thinking and generating of innovative ideas. Through this process learners will analyse the ideas and concepts used by artists for different purposes and, from their research, develop skills to generate and develop creative personal ideas. Learners will need to explore and broaden their use of visual, written and verbal communication skills in order to structure coherent presentations for different audiences.
TASKS TO BE ADDRESSED- OVER THE COURSE OF THE NEXT FEW WEEKS Task 1
Investigate the market and collect examples of “ECO ideas and outcomes” begin idea generation. While you are doing this you can consider the possible consumer group that you are going to focus on. (create a consumer profile, who is going to buy your product?).
Collect a wide range of examples and advertising material. Make sure that you record any sources such as websites etc.…
Task 2
Generate design roughs and thumbnails that start to explore your early ideas use a range of media and materials to develop the potential of surface colour texture…
Try to keep your ideas generation loose and allow for the unexpected to occur. Sample and experiment using conventional and unconventional materials.
HOMEWORK
2 PARTS RESEARCH AND COLLECTING OF MATERIALS
Research the theme “Eco warriors”. Select suitable images to create a series of inspiring mood boards.
Complete the mood board and collect materials useful for creating different effects in the workshops e.g. string, bubble wrap, ring pull’s, plastic bags, bottles, lids, textured wallpaper, corrugated card, fabric etc.… Reflect, analyse and explain how the source material and research can be developed into a variety of fabric manipulation samples.
Describe what techniques and processes would be appropriate for representing the Eco Warrior theme.

ARTIST RESEARCH
Homework (1 FULL WEEK)
Research and record historical, contemporary and contextual information, draw inspiration from artists who have also been inspired by the theme of recycling (see Eco PPT to help you) create a wide variety of developmental studies based on the artists you have chosen to look at/research, use their work to inform and develop your own ideas
Make constant comments and annotations about the work-studied. What were the artists’ influences? What techniques have they used? Reflect upon what you are looking at/researching. What have these artists taught you?
Search the Internet for famous artists and fashion designers. Create a visual time line of recycled fashion and its progression.
Then present two images of your choice (in an imaginative way) one historical and one contemporary. Annotate their main characteristics, compare and contrast the two images, you may wish to add studies/samples in the artists/designers style.
BTEC L3: For learning outcome 1, learners need to recognise and compare differences and similarities in the contexts and factors that influence and inform the development of ideas

START OF TASK 2LESSON Task
In the studio you will work from your drawings developing them in a variety of wet and dry media. Start to work elements from your research to enrich and drive the generation of ideas. Pause from time to time to review and analyse the work you are producing.
M2 builds on M1 and learners need to evidence their ability to further refine and modify their creative ideas, showing reasoned judgements in decision making. This evidence might be presented through detailed worksheets, refined maquettes, film clips with accompanying, clearly annotated storyboards and planned audio-visual presentations.
STARTING TO CREATE DESIGN IDEAS
Using your research and mark making work to inspire your ideas develop a design sheet of your ideas for pieces that could be sold in the ‘Eco Warriors’ shop.
Produce a series of designs with samples and annotations showing your ideas. Describe the formal elements, materials, processes and techniques you have used in each sample.

STUDENT PRESENTATIONS
YOU ARE GONG TO PLAN A PRESENTATION ABOUT YOU FINAL OUTCOME AND IDEAS. YOU CARRY OUT THIS PRESENTATION IN FRONT OF THE SHOPS OWNER. YOU MUST TRY TO CONVINCE THEM TO SELL YOU ITEM IN THEIR SHOP.
For learning outcome 4, the development of presentation skills are essential to enable effective communication of learners’ ideas. Presentation methods will include a range of different approaches suited to the ideas and intended audiences, for example mounting and display, presentation of visual and written work, verbal and visual presentation, and using bullet points and prompt cards. Methods could include combinations of digital and verbal presentation. Learners will need to research audience or client requirements in order to focus and select the appropriate information. Opportunities to practise the techniques of capturing audience interest and holding their attention will also be essential.
WHEN PLANNING YOU PRESENTATION CONSIDER….
EVALUATE, DISCUSS, DISPLAY
Evaluate work and explain decisions made.
Discuss the influence of the artists’ research on work.
What discoveries have been made when working with different media, techniques and processes?
Show how work has been modified and adapted before presentation of final outcomes.
Evaluate successes and failures.
Look at methods of displaying and presenting e.g. digital display, mounted or framed work; how are one offs and multiple works to be displayed?
When reviewing, learners will need to analyse the successes and/or failures of their working practices, their use of materials and techniques, and the quality and aesthetics of their work.

LET’S REVIEW THE GRADING CRITERIAMAKE NOTES TO HELP YOU AS YOU DISCUSS EACH OF THE FOLLOWING SLIDES.
Assessment and grading criteria
P1 compare ideas and concepts in art and design work
M1 use the results of purposeful research and investigation
to inform own ideas and concepts, demonstrating coherent direction in originating and developing ideas
D1 independently analyse and interpret research to
generate personal ideas and concepts, applying sophisticated thinking in generating, modifying and synthesising original ideas
P2 investigate ideas generating techniques
M2 demonstrate a considered approach to producing
purposeful ideas and solutions in response to briefs, presenting work coherently and effectively.
D2 demonstrate an individual and perceptive approach
to producing and communicating innovative and engaging work, using sophisticated presentation methods.
P3 generate and refine ideas in response to given briefs
P4 communicate and present ideas and outcomes to
different audiences.
P1
Evidence produced for P1 should demonstrate the ability to identify and compare, as clearly as possible, a range of visual and verbal references to ideas and concepts in art and design, through notes, extended pieces of written texts, bibliographies and lists of references, annotated studies, recorded discussions, observation sheets, activity feedback and completed frameworks.
M1
Evidence for M1 could take the form of explanatory notes, descriptive and analytical pieces of text or detailed annotated visual studies. There should be evidence of a coherent, clearly defined and planned approach to generating independent and creative ideas.
D1
For D1, learners will analyse and interpret research independently, evidencing their understanding of creative thinking techniques through analytical written pieces and combinations of visual and textual analysis, using in-depth critical vocabulary. Similarly, learners will evidence their ability to apply divergent and lateral thinking to generate, develop and synthesise exciting and innovative ideas.
P2
For P2, learners should show evidence of investigations of how mental and practical activities such as mind-mapping, drawing, modelling and free association can generate ideas for art and design work.
M2
M2 builds on M1 and learners need to evidence their ability to further refine and modify their creative ideas, showing reasoned judgements in decision making. This evidence might be presented through detailed worksheets, refined maquettes, film clips with accompanying, clearly annotated storyboards and planned audio-visual presentations.
For M2, learners should show coherent connections between their own and others’ concepts and ideas using informed linguistic skills. They should show an individual, imaginative approach to communicating and presenting information. Evidence for this might be through investigating and collating research into different audience needs and developing a range of well-planned presentation methods as suggested in the unit content.
D2
For D2, learners will demonstrate highly articulate skills of review and refinement towards providing informed and sophisticated ideas for different purposes. Learners will show clear evidence of highly articulate communication skills through independently planned, engaging presentations. Evidence of effective presentations to different audiences might be a chart or graph showing the results of their analysis of audience feedback.
P4 could be evidenced through learner plans, notes or charts from their market research and audience analysis, and video clips demonstrating effective presentation and communication skills. Learners might use varied presentation methods for different activities, using audio-visual equipment such as video, film, annotated slides or PowerPoint slides that are of particular relevance to their ideas.
