The thing I chose to concentrate on was the 15 Design Rules that were made about the Eames' legacy. I am also doing the volunteering elective which is teaching Graphic design to Primary school children. I think that these rules wil be a great basis to write my lesson plans on. I will have to break graphic design down to its basic form, which also relates to the Eames' ways of thinking about their work.
I've only got so far with this project. But so far i have presented 7 weeks of lessons to the children, each one relating back to the rules. Also in the evaluation lesson i got the children to come up with their own rules and it was nice to see the two sets of rules along-side eachother and also to see how much the children learnt about graphic design as it was a totally new concept to them.
I plan to make both sets of rules into really bright, simple classroom posters that I can then give back to the children and Millbank Primary School.
