Artefact: Shoe Story!

Year 10 Crammers,

Before I see you on Tuesday I can now finally give you some more information about the unit, and refresh your memories of what we talked about in week 1!

So, last week we looked at the history of shoe making in the Norwich area, in order for you guys to be able to understand how an artefact (in this case shoes) was made.  You also made paper shoes inspired by the work of local artist Lianne Maynard, whose delicate paper shoes tell their own 'story'.  This week, you will be researching contemporary fashion shoe designers, such as Vivienne Westwood, Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo or major fashion brands such as Adidas (there are already some links to shoe designers on right).  Are you sensing a theme yet?

Following some hard work from Mrs Hill, I can finally reveal that this week you will be allocated a brief to design a shoe based on a range of local businesses who have kindly agreed to work with CRAM students.  I'll tell you more when I see you on Tuesday, in the mean time, keep up the blogging! Check out Jacob's, Laura's and Cathy's blogs on the History of Shoes in Norwich, good work folks!
