3. Example of the 2014 Junior Cert brief…… Wooden items of elegant proportions, which portray the inherent beauty of this natural material, enhance any home. Design and make a slimline wall-mounted unit to safely store a range of first-aid items. The unit should incorporate hand-crafted joints and should harmonise with its surroundings. It should include a small removable facility for essential items for use in the event of an emergency. The maximum dimension of storage unit should not exceed 450mm. Firstly, it gives a very broad statement about how wooden items enhance a home. Then asks you to design and make something that relates to this statement. _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ Design and make_______________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________ Make a statement about the general theme of your project Now, ask yourself to design and make a project that relates to your given statement.
