UNIT X - EDUCATOR: DACA BRIEF

The workshop will be all day and Louise wants 2 workshops.

-          1 workshop – Yr7

-          1 workshop – Yr9 

The pupils taking part are academic pupils, there gifted and talented programme. There will be 15 students in each session

Can have any idea to base the workshop on but the outcome is for it to be a collaborative piece of work but Louise informed us that at the moment the kids have been learning/working about recycling and recycling materials and Pom Pom’s.

The next task was to create a workshop from the brief Louise generated, we split into the groups we chosen ourselves by splitting the table in half.

Group 1 – Annabel, Ellie, Kitty, Vic and me.

Group 2 – Ellie S, Mary Lou, Sam and Toni

Group 2 had chosen to work with the Yr7s in their workshop so we had Yr9s, from that we had 30 minutes to get idea together.

Pinterest was our main source of ideas getting generated, we created an idea board on Pinterest and was pinning all our idea together...

From our little brain storm session, as a group we had the same theme throughout which was being recycled materials.

After the 30 minutes we pitched our ideas to Louise, from our talk we had the ideas of using a weave technique using recycled materials like clothes as majority of the group being textile based. Having piles of clothes cut into long stripes to be weaved onto a loom?

Ideas of dying fabric also, for how they can create a weave we saw images of bike wheels so the outcome would be an installation piece of sorts.

What we had brought to the table so far Louise was happy with and said it was very collaborative of how the outcome would be an installation, and that we could discuss more as a group of how this would work... Louise said she will ask the students to bring old/unused clothes as well as herself contacting charity shops for clothes that they cannot sell.

What we need to have for the workshop is a PowerPoint so the students have visuals and step by step plan of what’s happening throughout the day – research involved in the PowerPoint also and artist research if an artist does similar work.

So for this Group (1) need more of a talk and explore our ideas and create a workshop.
