Lettering styles
You will have noticed from your research on CD covers that there are a great variety of lettering styles and fonts. This week I would like you to investigate lettering in more detail.  Take a look at the link below as a starting point.  Which ones do you prefer? How do they differ? Which ones are clear to read? Which ones do you dislike?

Task 1
Divide an A4 sheet of paper into 4 rows by folding the paper.  Into each of the rows you should choose a different lettering style to draw your name.  This is not  a handwriting exercise but a chance to really draw out the letters well to fill the space.  Colour each one in a different colour or various colours within each name, the choice is yours. 

Task 2
On A4 paper create your own unique alphabet in lower and uppercase lettering.  Use ideas from task 1 to inform your work but it should not be a copy of a font you have seen or like. 

Task 3
On A4 paper write out your name using your new alphabet.  Add colours of your choosing to complete.

Sustainable bag design
Last week you should have completed some research on reusable bags.  You will have noticed that there are many ways in which a reusable bag can be decorated.  The ones you buy are often patterned in some way with flowers, stripes, abstract patterns etc and many have logos or other writing on them.  Bags can also be decorated in a variety of textile methods including embroidery, beading, applique and embellishment.  

This week you are going to find out about some of the textile techniques that could be used to decorate a bag.  

Copy or print out the worksheet below.  Find out what each term means and write your answers as sentences.  Find some pictures, from the internet or draw them, and include them on the sheet.  Use the back of your worksheet if you need to.
