Form Follows Function

Most of us live in rectagular prisms because they are cheaper to build and an irregular shapeds structure. If you were to watch the movements of a family from an aerial view you would see that they do not move in x-y paths throught their spaces during their daily routines. If we were to form walls around the spaces that enveloped their movements, they would live in amoeba shaped structures which would be quite costly to build. However, in design, allowing form to follow function is the way to go reach the best design solution.

This worksheet pushes students to think about current designed items and whay they take on the 3D form that they do.

Lines & Shape to Create Formal Balance - Day of the Dead Masks

Image
Do you remember Shrinky Dinks? Apparently #6 plastic clamshell containers are the same material and react the same way! I'm thinking a toaster oven will work for this project or the stove in the main office teachers's room. Place on cookie sheet or parchment paper. Bake at 300 degrees until the plastic has shrunk and flattened out again. Each piece will require a different bake time depending on the size, but only takes a few minutes. Here's an activity that can be done using milk jugs, card stock or the clear plastic. Try doing this before November 1st. Sources: dia de los muertos skulls .

Photo Introduction

Image
I just mentioned photography, so I figure I better give you some insight to my approach with the students. One of my pet peves is when a students photographs their work or project with all kinds of noise in the background or even foreground! I have them start a slide deck on Google Slides and post their photos to a slideshow so that they have a place to put their shots and I can access the slide shows for assessing. I can add comments and redirect them in their efforts. Please note that I only have enough photography knowledge to be dangerous.  What I learned is mostly from Michael Miller, a local photogrpher, but don't blame him for any of my shortcomings. I start with the rule of thrids and send students off to take their first set of photos for homework. Again, they post these to their slide deck. Note that each of these sections below are images that you can grab and print on a full page as a handout.  I then talk about Macro Shots and send them off again to...

Ideas for the Technology, Engineering and Design Studio or Lab

I love creating a new project. I love the moments of project inception and the excitement of the research and gathering my thoughts to formulate the actual projects. In fact, I have so many written up that I have never used, that I decided to launch this blog to share these ideas with others to use.  Whenever I attend a workshop or conference, I am satisfied with the event if I walk away with one new idea. I have come to realize that I am not alone. all of the attendees are seeking ideas to take back to to implement with their students. I often get bogged down by all of the project ideas I have and get frustrated with not being able to use them all.  Over the years, I have tried to give many of my ideas a marine theme becuase of the nature of the school that I have been at since Septmeber 1998. I certainly know where the time went, writing up new projects! So without further delay, I will start sharing the pages, assignments and projects that I have for you all to use a...

Color and Color Effects

Image
Each of us sees our own version of the same colors and in some cases, some don't see the color at all. These worksheets allow the student to understand the nature of color and start to play with the effects of color when used onw their own or paired with other colors. The last worksheet encourages studetns to consider whay companies use the colors that they do and why nature uses color to attract or repel.

Negative and Positive Shape

Image
The Epilog Laser Cutter is a fascinating machine. This year I will be having my students create wooden trivet designs to cut out on the laser. I have 70ish students each year that all need an experience on the equipment. I think this will be a nice project with a take home item to share with the family. I plan to use 1/4" luan plywood for these laser cut items. I am anxious to see what the students design. This project can be used to reinforce any of the design principles, but students tend to forget what positive and negative space means, until I remind them about the cutouts in a pumpkin.

Pinwheels for Peace

Image
September 21st is international Day of Peace. Check out this site for more details. I thought I could turn this event into an activity usuing the pinwheels as one of the projects for the design principles. I will plan to have the students display their pinwheels down a main outdoor pathway on our campus on September 21st. Please join me and share images of your student work wherever you can to promote peace.

Photography and SGO not ISO, hehehe

Image
OK, back to photography and have the students really commit these art and graphic temrs to memory. For one of my SGO's (Student Growth Objectives) I wanted to come up with a better way for students to learn the design elements and princles, especially the different types of each; mechanical, geometric, regular, irregular. etc. Enough of the students would not get these terms sorted out in their minds. So, I added this set of worksheets to get them to think about the terms, practice them, organize them and label them. The more they played with the information, the more they would learn the terms. This proved to be a very successful SGO. Most students love to take photos. Sometimes I tell them I want office worthy photos, not their Lego man on their desk at home. I tell them that they need to put some inspiring quote beneath the image to use as office artwork. This eliminates the junky photos that are taken in the wee hours of the morning when they realize the due date is tomorrow!...

Identifying and Creating Space

Image
I have found that students struggle with the concept of Space as they constantly want to put white space between their objects. So I often use the word depth instead. This worksheet helps them practice the different ways of creating space. Now, try to get your students to add shading detail to their work to make their images pop off of the page to provide depth or space.  Now try to get them to create some realistic looking objects using color, texture and space. Now get them to put their knowledge to work in a fun activity making a montague using various elements from other sources. See some examples of the previous worksheets and a montague here .

CAD Design / Plastic Printing /Prototyping

Image
Designing a cookie cutter appears to be quite simple, but students will get the chance to use offset, mirror and other commands if they are new to the sofware you are using. Adding structure to provide detail to the cookie will challange even the best students. Students can do research to learn what makes an effective cookie shape. They can test their designs using cinnamon dough to create an ornament as long as they remember to puncture a hole in the top for hanging. Be sure you don't have anyone in the class with a gluten allergy. In that case, use a porcelain dough or air drying clay. Use this activity for student to write reflections on their design. Despite the simple design, you will be pleasantly surprised at all that your students can write about the cookie cutter. In a formal technically written document, discuss the following in 10+ paragraphs:   I.   Scope of the project. (10) What did you need to design? (The project entailed . . . ) keep in ...
