Year 10 Little Black Dress

🎨 Year 10 Design Challenge: Creativity Meets Collaboration!

This week, our Year 10 students took part in an exciting and imaginative Design Challenge that brought creativity, teamwork, and innovation to the forefront.

Working in assigned Design Teams, students were tasked with designing and constructing a themed paper gown. Each team began by selecting a unique theme, which guided their sketches, planning, and final construction. From concept to creation, every student played a vital role—whether designing the bodice, crafting the skirt, or adding intricate details like lace, flowers, and headpieces.

🛠️ What They Learned:

  • Creative Thinking: Students explored how to turn abstract ideas into visual designs.
  • Teamwork & Communication: Collaboration was key, with each member contributing to the gown’s construction.
  • Planning & Time Management: With a deadline and a prize on the line, students learned to organise tasks and manage their time effectively.
  • Material Techniques: A variety of paper construction methods were used, showcasing originality and craftsmanship.

🏆 Judging Criteria Included:

  • Originality & Creativity
  • Theme Cohesion & Aesthetic Qualities
  • Complexity in Design & Construction
  • Variety of Paper Construction Techniques

This challenge not only highlighted the artistic talents of our students but also reinforced valuable life skills such as problem-solving, collaboration, and perseverance. I’m incredibly proud of the stunning gowns and the effort each team put into their work! I can’t wait to see what we achieve this Semester together.
