In this DT lesson, we’ve gone through some of the stages of the design process.
The class took on the role of carnival costumes designers and split into troupes to design their costumes. First, they had to decide their theme and then do some internet investigation for inspiration.
Next, they made some initial sketches for their carnival king and queen costumes. They had to think about what the costume would look like but also think how the costume would be supported so that it could be moved without collapsing.
After that, they reflected on their sketches with their troupe and made some tweaks before colouring and annotating the designs.
Finally, the troupes looked at each other’s designs and fed back what they liked about them. They also evaluated their own and fed back on improvements or changes they would make.
