Every year it is a tradition at Burnsview for one of the grade 8 art classes to design and showcase wood and paper lamps that they build from scratch. Students always create very unique designs inspired by objects around them.
Here are the criteria for the assignment:
From samples shown in class … design, draw a modal, and build a functional lamp. It must be safe to use, have a unique design, and be interesting to look at. You must write a statement describing your lamp, how you built it, and what its use is.
/5 functions as a lamp, safely stands on its own or hangs from a ceiling
/5 attention to detail / quality of your work
/5 creative use of shape, form, pattern and materials
/5 interesting to look at from all sides
