Lesson delivery

The following provides you with a suggested plan on how to deliver this lesson. You are encouraged to take a flexible approach and modify this lesson and its timings to suit the needs and abilities of your students.

1. Introduction – An artistic challenge (5 minutes)

In this unit students will create community and football artworks that will be showcased at an art exhibition.

Explain to student groups that as part of their artistic challenge they have been asked to design an alternative logo for the Brisbane Roar playing uniform. The final design should be their artistic interpretation of the what the club stands for and the region and community it represents.

2. Decide on technique and materials (5 minutes)

The teacher and students should decide on the artistic technique and materials that will be used to design their logos.

The following is a range of 2D techniques and materials that can be used.

The following activity sheets have been provided with this unit to assist teachers and students:

• Activity sheet 3.1 - Inspiring football logos

• Activity sheet 3.2 - Designing your football logo

• Activity sheet 3.3 - Styrofoam print your football logo.

3. Dimensions of the finished product

At the end of the unit students will be exhibiting their final product to an audience. For full appreciation of their work the size of their logo should be A3 dimensions or larger.

4. Teacher advice - Assessing the finished product

The Assessment rubric provided with this unit includes a section where you and your students assess completed work. The criteria for assessment should be explained to students prior to the commencement of their artwork.

The following is what they should be assessed on:

5. Creating a logo design (40 minutes)

Distribute Activity sheet 3.1 - Inspiring football logos, one hard copy (in colour) to each group. Alternatively you can choose to project this activity sheet on a data screen or interactive whiteboard instead of copying.

In their groups ask students to discuss the logos on the activity sheet. They should use the questions provided as stimulus for discussion.

Once they have considered the logos they are to use Information and Communication Technoogy (ICT) and (or) school library to conduct research to decide which images they are going to recreate as part of their logo design.

They should consider a range of images and symbols their community is known for across the following:

• Famous geographical landmarks

• Iconic animals

• Flowers and plants

• Historical symbols and famous people

• Indigenous, local, cultural artwork

• Architecture

• Language - script

• Language - words

• Football.

They should use Activity sheet 3.2 - Designing your football logo to assist them with this process.

Student research and decisions about the elements and aesthetics (such as, colours, design) of each team’s logo should be completed by the next lesson.
