As part of Art lessons, Classes 6, 7 and 8 designed and made a chair for a story book character.
To research this area, we looked at different types of seat and considered their uses, how they were made and the types of materials they were made from.
Next, we made a basic frame from wood and secured it with card corners. Once we had done this, we were ready to design our chairs. We thought carefully about the design and use of colour as the chair had to match the personality of the character that we had designed it for.
We made chairs for Action Man, the Little Mermaid, Felicity Wishes, the Three Little Pigs, Horrid Henry – to name but a few!
