Hello all! Welcome to the last lesson of the module!

Last lesson pairs made projects from the guided challenge section of the Invention Book. Today we will be designing and making a prototype of an art installation piece from what we made in the last lesson. You will be able to use any materials you can find in the box in the front of the room. Look around the room at things you could potentially use.

BRAINSTORM

In your pairs discuss:

  1. What is an interactive artwork?
  2. What is appropriation?
  3. How you are going to modify your prototype to make an interactive artwork?
  4. What materials are you going to use?
  5. Are you going to be appropriating ideas from other artists? (You can research on your iPads if you like)

Make a rough sketch of your design.

PAIR TASK

You may get started on the task whenever you have finished brainstorming with your partner.

You may use any of the materials at the front of the room.

Make sure you have your Little Bits invention from the last lesson on your table.

Once you have finished, make a description of your artwork like what you saw in the art gallery.

On your iPads make a plaque with a

  • Title
  • Artist names
  • Description of the artwork – justifying your art conventions and the concept behind the artwork.

Print your art description out.

Put your artwork on the back shelf and stick your art description on the back wall next to your artwork.

Reflection

  1. What did you learn?
  2. What contemporary art conventions did you utilise in your work?
  3. Was Little Bits easy to use? Would you use it again?
  4. What did you find challenging?
  5. What would you like to improve upon?

Hand in your reflection to the teachers’ desk.

Congratulations on completing your interactive artwork! In the next lesson present your masterpiece to the class and show them what you’ve made!
