Lesson outcomes

To develop pupils ability to respond creatively to a brief and refine and critically assess their work in order to realise their ideas. To prepare a work brief that formulates the content and parameters of the design process and plan how this will be undertaken.

All pupils will be able to create a complete design based on the theme of If I was an explorer I would...

etc.) to represent the places subject to discovery they would want to explore.

Introduction [ 50 Minutes ]

Ask pupils to close their eyes and think about all the wonderful things they would like to discover and see (locations, scientific discoveries, worlds in books, a special piece of art, an imaginary place, other planets). Ask pupils to open their eyes and share their thoughts and opinions with the class. Teacher creates a list of things to explore. Teacher asks pupils if you were given the chance to explore how would you get there and what sort of things would you find on your exploration? Pupils are given time to think about the proposed question and then write it down on a piece of paper. Teacher collects papers and reads out responses.

Ask them to share their plans (concept maps) with the other pupils. Give pupils the outline Google letters and ask them how they might use their ideas as part of the logo. Explain that this is their first draft and that they will have the opportunity to complete a good copy for submission. Teachers might encourage pupils to plan a work brief that outlines their design process.

Remind pupils that their final doodles will be completed today and that the best submissions will be entered into a competition. Teachers may include in here discussion about design elements e.g. shape, colour, layout etc. Artists layer their work, similar to the Google doodles e.g. consider Andy Warhols screen printed soup cans and celebrity portraits, where he used different colour filters on the same images for different effects. Ask pupils to give their design a title (maximum of 5 words). Ask pupils to write a short supporting statement (maximum of 50 words) describing their doodle and how it represents ideas about their exploration.
