Hello, my name is Mrs. Tipping, and I'm really looking forward to learning with you today about our spaces through drawing and painting.

We're going to do lots of thinking, talking, and exploring together in this lesson.

So shall we get started? Let's go.

By the end of today's lesson, you'll be able to design and build a home using recycled materials.

Before we start, I would like to introduce you to some key words.

We'll be using these keywords during the lesson, so it might be a good idea to write these words down.

The key words we'll be using today are: 3D model, recycled material, structures.

I'm going to say those again, and I would like you to repeat them after me.

3D model, recycled material, structures.

Good job.

Now let's think in more detail about what these keywords mean by taking a look at their definitions.

So a 3D model is a shape or object that is not flat.

It has height, width, and depth.

So you can see all around it.

Recycled material is leftover or discarded materials that can be reused for creative purposes.

And structures are something that is built and is made of different materials to stay strong.

Pause the video here and make a note of these keywords, and when you are ready to continue, press play.

These are the learning cycles that we'll be working through together in today's lesson: building structures and creating a 3D model of a sustainable building.

In this first learning cycle, we are going to explore building structures.

Architects use different structures to build buildings.

Each type is designed to be safe and strong.

Do you recognise any of these structures from the buildings you see around you? Pause the video here and have a discussion with your partner, and press play when you're ready to continue.

What did you think? Do you recognise any of these? Have you seen any of these structures around you? Well, buildings made with a strong skeleton such as metal or wood to hold up the building are called frame structures.

Sam says, "I have seen skyscrapers with metal frames in the city." You see this skyscraper here.

Buildings made with thick, heavy materials like bricks, stone, or concrete are called solid structures.

Andeep says, "I've learned about the Egyptian pyramids in history.

These are an example of a solid structure." Buildings with a curved or rounded shape that spreads evenly are called shell structures.

Sofia says, "I have noticed that football stadiums often have a shell structure." Buildings that have walls or pillars that hold all of the weight are called load-bearing structures.

Lucas says, "I learned that ancient temples and mud huts are load-bearing structures." So let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

What type of structure is shown in this image? A load-bearing structure, a frame structure, or a shell structure? Pause the video here and give yourself a moment to think, and press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said it's a frame structure, you're absolutely right.

Buildings made with a strong skeleton such as metal or wood to hold the building up are called frame structures.

Architects use different materials and design features to make their buildings sustainable.

So they might include green roofs, some sustainable materials such as bamboo or reclaimed wood.

They might have solar panels, and they might use wind turbines.

So these are all design features that make buildings sustainable.

Sofia decides to create a design profile about this building.

So you can see here she's got a design profile, then a picture of the building, the structure type, and sustainable features.

So here in the structure type she's written, "This building has a frame structure." And the sustainable features she's picked out are the solar panels and the wind turbine.

Lucas decides to create a design profile about this building.

What kind of structure type and sustainable features would we pick out here? Pause the video here and have a quick discussion with your partner, and press play when you are ready to continue.

What was that structure type? That's right, this building has a shell structure.

And the sustainable features we've got are the green roof.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

Architects use different materials and design features to make their buildings sustainable.

Is this statement true or false? Pause the video here and give yourself a moment to think.

Press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said that's true, you're absolutely right.

Architects use different materials and design features to make their buildings sustainable, such as green roofs, wind turbines, and solar panels.

This brings us to our first learning task.

I'd like you to create a design profile for one of the following building structures, a or b.

So take a moment to pause to choose your building before I tell you the next parts of the task.

So pause the video here and give yourself a moment to choose between a or b, and press play when you are ready to continue.

Okay, hopefully you've chosen your building.

So now I'd like you to create that design profile.

So you could draw a picture of a building or use a printed photograph.

You could describe the structure type and describe the sustainable features.

So pause the video here and give yourself enough time to create that design profile for one of the buildings that you've chosen, and press play when you are ready to continue.

How did that go? Which building did you choose? Well, you may have created a design like this.

So this building has a frame structure, and the sustainable features are green roof, solar panels, and wind turbine.

Or you may have created a design profile like this one.

The structure type is this building has a load-bearing structure.

And the sustainable features are green roof and sustainable materials like reclaimed wood or bamboo or stone.

So well done for having a go at creating a design profile.

This brings us to the second part of our lesson.

We're going to be creating a 3D model of a sustainable building.

Have you ever created something new from something old? Pause the video here and have a discussion with your partner, and press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you discuss? Have you created something before? Maybe like the structure in this image, using cardboard and milk bottles.

Well, junk modelling is when we use recycled materials, like cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, and egg cartons, to create something new.

Jacob is using his imagination to think of what he can create using recycled materials for junk modelling.

Maybe a spaceship.

Maybe a robot or a house.

Sometimes, you can just start building and see where your ideas take you.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

Junk modelling is when you use new materials to create something new.

Is this statement true or false? Pause the video here and give yourself a moment to think, and press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said that's false, you're absolutely right.

Junk modelling is when we use recycled materials, like cardboard boxes, plastic bottles, and egg cartons, to create something new.

Sometimes, artists and designers create miniature 3D models of buildings using recycled materials.

What materials may have been used to create this miniature 3D model? Take a good look at that image.

Pause the video here and have a discussion with your partner, and press play when you are ready to continue.

What materials could you see? Can you see any cardboard? Can you see any wood? Well, we've got some foam that's been used, some cork, some wooden sticks, some magazine cuttings, some fabric, and some cardboard.

So lots of different materials have been used in this 3D model, and they've been used for different things.

There are many artists that use recycled materials to create 3D models.

Robert Bradford is an artist who turns old plastic toys into colourful sculptures.

He glues the toys together to make big animals and people instead of letting them go to waste.

The Ocean Sole Group is a group of people from Kenya who collect old flip-flops from beaches along the Indian Ocean and turn them into animal sculptures.

So those are artists that use recycled materials to create those 3D models.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

The Ocean Sole Group turn old into sculptures.

So what's the missing word? Is it cardboard, toys, or flip-flops? Pause the video here and give yourself a moment to think, and press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said flip-flops, that's right.

They collect the flip-flops from beaches along the Indian Ocean, and they create large 3D animal sculptures from them.

Many used or unwanted household materials can be recycled and used to create art.

So you might have plastic in the form of water bottles or milk bottles.

You've got shampoo bottles, yoghourt pots.

There's lots of things in plastic.

Even butter tubs.

In paper and cardboard, they could be newspaper, cardboard boxes, toilet roll tubes, letters.

And in fabric, you could use clothes, bedding, and you could use curtains.

So there are many materials that when you've used them or they become unwanted, they could be recycled to create artwork.

Sofia is creating a 3D model of a sustainable building.

She says, "I chose things from the recycling bin that I like the shape of and imagined what I might use them for." Sofia begins by collecting and cleaning the recycled materials.

So she's got a cardboard milk carton here, she's got cardboard packaging, and she's included a plastic bottle.

So Sofia experiments with the items that she has.

She says, "I used masking tape to stick the objects together to build the main structure of my building using cardboard." And you see that there, how she's attached those parts.

Sofia used scissors to cut some objects and change their shape.

She did say, "I asked an adult to help me cut the objects as this was tricky." So can you see where she's cut the milk carton off? There are other ways you can join objects together.

You can use glue, you can use slotting, and you can use the flange technique.

The children are discussing the best way to join their objects to create a 3D model.

Lucas says, "I chose to create a flange to make the connection stable." Sam says, "I chose to glue my materials together so that they attached firmly." And Sofia says, "I chose slotting because no glue or tape is needed and this is more eco-friendly." Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

The slotting method for joining requires lots of glue.

Is this statement true or false? Pause the video here and give yourself a moment to think, and press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said that's false, you're absolutely right.

The sorting method requires no tape or glue.

Sofia decided to add different features to her 3D model.

So she's included some windows here and also some doors.

She says, "I asked an adult to help me cut the windows and doors." It can be quite tricky to cut through cardboard.

She then added sustainable building features.

So can you see her solar panels that she's included here? And also a wind turbine.

And this is to show the grass roof.

Sofia looks at the use of materials in this 3D model for inspiration.

So we have that foam here that's used up in the roof section.

We've got some cork down here on one of the walls.

Got wooden sticks out the front, which could be maybe a plant pot.

We've got some magazine cuttings and also some cardboard here.

And can you see also some fabric that's being used on the side here? Finally, Sofia decorates her building to add colour and texture.

Can you see how she's included bubble wrap up here and this magazine collage? So she's cut out pieces of a magazine and stuck those on.

She's also added parts of this cardboard here.

Let's take a moment to pause and check our understanding.

When designing a sustainable model building using recycled materials, you first: add the building features, collect the items, or stick the items together? Pause the video here and have a discussion with your partner.

Which do you do first? And press play when you are ready to continue.

What did you think? If you said you collect your items first, you're absolutely right.

You first collect and clean out the recycled materials.

This brings us to our final learning task.

I'd like you to create your 3D sustainable model building.

First, collect your recycled materials and then experiment with the different shapes and joins.

And then add your features before finally decorating.

So pause the video here and give yourself enough time to create your 3D sustainable model building, and press play when you're ready to continue.

How did that go? Were you able to create your building and add those sustainable features? Well, you may have created a 3D model of a sustainable building that looks a bit like Sofia's.

You can see how she used her imagination to create sustainable features using recycled materials such as an egg carton for the wind turbine.

Maybe you included bits of collage magazine, or maybe you included some solar panels or a green roof.

Well done for creating a 3D model of a sustainable building.

Before we finish this lesson, let's summarise what you've learned about creating a 3D model of a sustainable building.

Architects use specific structures to build buildings.

They use different materials and design features to make their buildings sustainable.

Sometimes, artists and designers create miniature 3D models of buildings using recycled materials.

And there are different ways you can join objects together.

Thank you for joining me in this lesson today.

I hope to see you in the next one.

See you then.
