2. HomeworkSet / DueComment / MarkFurther Study Suggestions Art Deco clocks Fantastic ! Excellent examples and thorough explanations noting colours, shapes and symmetrical features. Thermo / Thermosetting plastics Good definitions. I wouldn’t use the word ‘frozen’ because it suggests the material is taken down to 0°C. ‘Cooled’ would be better. Can you find out which plastic is generally used to make the transparent bottles in your picture? Research types of thermo / thermoset plastics CAD research Very good examples of 2 pieces of CAD software and explanations of what they can do. What can we do with our 2D design drawings in school?

3. Design Brief: A small clock manufacturing company has commissioned you to design and make a prototype acrylic clock in the Art Deco style. This clock should be identical in design but use opposing colour schemes (ie red on white/ white on red) You will be using 2D Design and the Laser Cutter to manufacture your clock face. You may only use 2 colours and the final product should only have two layers of 2mm acrylic that cover no more than an A5 piece of paper. Design Specification: My product must: be in an Art Deco style- colours, shapes and patterns have only 2 colours have 2 layers of 2 mm acrylic have a 10mm hole to hold the mechanism be wall mounted be made to fit into an A5 rectangle have a very simple outline be assembled carefully with to glue stains on the finished product Design Brief and Specification

4. Key definitions Research: research is an investigation into a subject in order to discover facts establish or revise a theory to develop a plan of action based on the facts recovered. Constraint: constraint is something that limits freedom or action. Mechanism: a part of a machine that performs a specific task Acrylic: acrylic is a thermoplastic type of plastic that can come in various of different styles translucency colour it is a synthetic textile fibre produced from fibre or acrylic acid Commissioned: commissioned is a task given to a person or group Prototype: a prototype is a sample or a model of the design Art deco: It is a style developed through the 1920s and 30s, that consist of linear, architectural, geometrical shapes as well as bold colours. It has influenced through out the worlds most well known buildings and monuments. Art deco also focuses on themes of luxury, technology, modernization and craftsmanship. Research

5. Classroom Activity 1 Research : In the space below, briefly explain what you have discovered about Art Deco Design Research Asymmetrical & organic clock Symmetrical & geometrical clock What is art deco? It is a style developed through the 1920s and 30s, that consist of linear, architectural, geometrical shapes as well as bold colours. It has influenced through out the worlds most well known buildings and monuments. Art deco also focuses on themes of luxury, technology, modernization and craftsmanship.

6. Classroom Activity 2 Research ; In the space below, paste any images or photographs of Art Deco products. Try to show a range of examples that you like (buildings, furniture, clocks etc.) Research Art deco potLempicka tamare a famous painter that consist of art deco features in his work Stained glass window Art deco has influenced some of worlds most famous buildings such as this empire state building This piece consists of bold lines performed in a linear way and symmetry as well as geometric shapes Art deco has developed through worlds most successful and significant magazines especially fashion magazines such as vogue

7. Classroom Activity 3 Research : In the space below, paste any images or photographs of Art Deco clocks. Again, try to show a examples that you particularly like.. Research I like how it’s a simple design although it makes a really big statement with the bold sea glass color and the bold shapes. I chose this clock because I like how it has some transparency, the glass really brightens and highlights the shapes giving it this very structured and skeleton like look. This is a simple circle clock I like the skeleton side frames, I like how they chose a gold frame instead of a black one, the golden frames really define and accentuate the shapes in a modest way and it also gives a very vintage like feel I like the geometrical pentagon shape and the contrast between the black and cream, the black outlines really strengthens and emphasizes a very bold look I like how they chose an emerald green and kept the design really simple, I like how the mother of pearl is put together in a very linear way it really accentuates the structure. This clock is a little bit more complex than the others but I like the silhouette and the geometric cuts.

8. Classroom Activity 4 Research : Your clock will be made from Acrylic plastic. In the space below, explain what you have discovered about Acrylic plastic. Research Colourful Opaque acrylic sheetsTransparent acrylic sheets Air blown acrylic rodTwisted acrylic rod Colorful Translucent acrylic tubes Transparent acrylic tubes translucent acrylic sheets

9. Homework Activity 1 Research : There are many different plastics, but they are usually classified as either Thermoplastic or Thermosetting Plastic. Briefly describe the main difference between the two. Research Thermoset plastic productsThermoplastic products Thermosetting plastic: Thermosetting plastic is nonmelt able (or an irreversible material,) which is the opposite of thermoplastic. It was made by melting down a powder and during that process the little plastic molecules merge and Combine together creating one giant molecule. After that’s done it is permanently set and irreversible.if you try to heat it will not liquefy or melt because there is no space for the heat to disperse one huge molecule, instead the plastic will crack and burn away thermoplastic Thermoplastic of plastic can be turned to liquid when heated and solid when cooled. It is a reversible material, which means it can be reheated, reshaped and frozen repeatedly. ACRYLIC PLASTIC: Acrylic plastic is thermoplastic because it liquefies when heated and it solidifies when cooled it is a reversible material so it can be reshaped and frozen repeatedly.

10. CAD: is computer aided design an example of CAD is Google sketch up. GOOGLE SKETCHUP: Google sketch up is mostly used for interior and exterior designing it is used for architecture as well as product design to bring a concept of a house building or a design of a product alive. It includes tools to create 3d shapes it includes realistic material like filters such as translucent filters, water, rocks, grass, glass e.t.c. Tech soft 2D DESIGN software: to produce smart simple traditional engineering drawings or smart graphical presentation sheet the soft ware will let you compose a design in 2d it will allow you to create the brief outline or concept of the design or product. Homework Activity 1 Research : CAD Google sketch up Research Tech soft 2d design

11. Generating and Developing Ideas Using a computer program called 2D Design. You and your partner must each come up with THREE original clock design in the style of art deco. Classroom Activity 5 Idea 1 (cut and paste image here) Tools used in the making of these

12. Generating and Developing Ideas Idea 2 (cut and paste image here) Complete any marking comments. Evaluate your work: What do you think went well? Which design have you chosen? Why did you chose it?

13. Generating and Developing Ideas Idea 3 (cut and paste image here) Explain your image. What have you changed and why?

14. Generating and Developing Ideas Your clock is in the Art Deco Style. In the space below paste TWO images of original and innovative clocks that you have found. Try and show something quirky and different that you particularly like and in a text box say why. Homework Activity 2 Delete this page!

15. Development (Modelling) Before you make your product it is always a good idea to make a model, to see how the product will look when it is finished. This will be made from card (in your two chosen colours). A photograph of your finished model should be inserted below. Classroom Activity 7 This shows my final design with my chosen colours. The outline shape is the background and only has slots for the feet and the clock mechanism. The bottom part shows the alternating coloured shapes for the clock face and the feet which are slotted. The clock will sit on a table surface.

16. Making : Using the laser cutter Making : Using the Laser Cutter You will be shown how to use the Laser Cutter. It is very important that the follow all the stages carefully in a particular order. In the space below produce a flow diagram showing these stages (from start to finish). Classroom Activity 8 1 2 3 4 1.The CAD drawing is sent to the Laser Cutter. 2.The acrylic sheet is placed on the bed and cut by the Laser. 3.The lid and the extraction suck the toxic fumes outside 4.The pieces are collected off the bed and kept safe for gluing

17. Making : Assembly It is a good idea to assemble your clock (like a puzzle), before you start gluing the individual pieces together. In the space below include some photographs of the assembly stage. Classroom Activity 9 Say what equipment you used to assemble your clock and how you used them.

18. Making : Finished Clock Making : Assembly After the clock has been assembled, you will need to add clock mechanism and hands. Once this has been done, insert a photograph of the finished clock below. Classroom Activity 10

19. Making : Flow Diagram Every project in technology follows a sequence of stages (linked to the design cycle), in the space below REORDER a flow diagram showing the stages of this project from start to finish.
