Creating textiles with paper
Here we used paper and card to experiment with making textiles for using to make objects such as bags and coasters etc. I started with manipulating the paper in different ways such as weaving, crumpling and folding. I then tried making origami and found this more effective than just throwing the paper away. I then found some crisp packets and laminated them, then i cut them up and weaved them to make an interesting sheet of material.

Making chairs
today we experimented with making chairs from cardboard. I have looked at furniture made from chairs online and found it inspiring.

Would you please thank all of the students for their enthusiasm and ideas when they visited the Children's Scrapstore last week. I hope that they came away with enough to shape some projects, or at least to be further informed about re-use and recycling, and also the Scrapstore.
I have included a list of their ideas for you, and I will be in touch again when I have discussed the project with Jeff.
Until then , thanks again.

scrapstore
I have decided to work with the Scrapstore and create an advert for them, my idea's are to either make a chain reaction advert or an advert working with children. I think that I want to include some animation into my advert so i need to do some research into animation.

Outline the final idea for your project
My final idea is to create a film for the Scrapstore of children using scrap to play.
How will you ensure that your product is suitable for it’s purpose?
I will follow the brief closely and try and get feedback along the way.
Resources required
I will need two children, a room, possibly a garden, filming equipment, and scrap.
What will you need to create your product? Include resources, locations, models etc.
I will need a location suitable for filming in. camera equipment, mac and software.
Potential difficulties with execution of product
If the children don’t want to cooperate. If I have difficulties filming.
What could go wrong when you are producing your work? What steps will you take to try and avoid these?
The children might not want to cooperate. The filming could go wrong or there could be difficulty with editing.
Health and Safety issues to consider
Looking after the children and ensuring they are safe. Letting the neighbors know I am shooting a film so they are not alarmed. Looking after myself and the camera equipment.
