What were we learning?
To use 3D drawings to show design ideas.
How would we know if we were successful?
- We would be able to follow sets of instructions to create a 3D drawing.
- We would be able to use line and colour to show our designs.
- We would be able to use other home designs as inspiration for our own.
- We would be able to talk about our designs with other people.
What did we do?
- We had been given the challenge of designing a brand-new ‘eco-home’.
- We researched the different types of houses in our local area and thought about the good/not-so-good elements of each.
- We then used 3D techniques to create drawings of our potential designs. Have a look at some of them below!
Our next step is to consider which materials we would use to build our homes. We will be looking at recyclable/non-recyclable building materials. After that, it’s time to make models!
Below is a photo of our first proper batch of recycled crayons! Thanks to all who have donated old, broken or unused crayons!
Until next time…
