Seventh Meeting
\nInspiration and communication<\/h2>\n

This week the Children’s Parliament Investigators worked with their whole class to reflect on their design solutions and everybody selected a message to make into their own graphic communication. Using collaged paper, pens and tape the investigators created striking images that communicate their feelings around the themes discussed within the Children’s Parliament Investigates Bullying project.<\/p>\n

\"eyefordesign\"<\/p>\n

In this meeting, our\u00a0Children’s Parliament investigators, along with the rest of P6C, were introduced to some of the ideas behind graphic design. By exploring the visual elements and practicing their eye-for-design, the children\u00a0began to create a better solution to their Design Brief.<\/p>\n

Children’s Parliament Investigates Bullying Design Brief:
\n<\/strong>Create a poster that will inspire and help others to make your school a happy, safe and friendly place to be. Your poster should include an inspirational message<\/b> and you will use the visual elements<\/b> to make your poster feel positive<\/b> and eye-catching.<\/p>\n
