Unit 12 Shawlands Primary School Live Brief 02.12.15

This Unit is all about engaging with an audience in art & design. The learning outcomes we are hoping to achieve from this unit 12 are the following;

• Understanding the audience for a chosen art and design activity
• Be able to plan and implement art and design activity for an identified audience
• Be able to use evaluation in support of art and design activity for an identified audience.

To be able to pass this unit 12 we have been given a brief to help a local school to improve areas in their library, a room to help calm autistic spectrum disorder children and upgrade two of their display boards, one for Key State 1 (5-7 aged) & on for Key State 2 (7-11 aged). We have been given a chance to win a competition to design these area around Shawlands school. To win we have to choose two of the three areas from the list and come up with some designs to improve them.

I have chosen the library and the display boards. I chose the library as I have a lot of initial ideas as soon as I heard the brief for this room and also when I was in my primary and secondary school I had a lot of input with my schools display boards. These are why I have chosen these areas in particular.

The "need" for this product is help to redesign areas of the school.
The "constrictions" for this project are; the size of the room, display boards, the budget, the fact the school offers to provide care for children with autistic spectrum disorder, the fact the lights in the sensory room must stay and also things in the draws must stay in the room but can be placed somewhere else.
