Lesson Plan tutorial reflection

Today I had a tutorial with Adele looking into lesson plan's and how to make them more suitable and how to use the day more successfully.

I have learnt that...

Make sure you leave enough explaining time.
Demonstration is the best way to tell them what to do
It's good to engage them into it before starting for example asking the question what is carnival? what creature's in the ocean can you think of?
You can split them into smaller groups for more difficult activities
Helpers are a great way to make sure things are done in the right way.
Template's speed things along
Make sure you keep reminding them about not mixing colours or only give them one colour at a time
Make sure you remember to allow drying time.
Children love to do the 'big reveal' in tie-dye so make sure i leave it up to them to get the elastic bands off the t-shirts

These are my initial lesson plans to take to the tutorial's on Monday. (16th April) amendments may need to happen to make sure there is enough time for each activity. It's been a little tricky to work out how long things are going to take, as I won't be able to prototype my design until next week as that's when the material's will have arrived by.

Budget

The budgeting is done! All the student artists working on Moving Tides, have now coordinated orders to reduce costs and delivery charges, I would have been over but thanks to polo-shirt.co.uk and Hindleys where everyone wanted to order from I have saved myself a good amount of money on postage.

Also making the decision to do the dying within the university, rather than at the school due to time constraints, I have swapped from using cold water dyes to Dylon which saved me some money. I am now within budget!
