In this unit, which I have taught to both Grade 8 and 9 students, they research designers and artists, then create a clock. As an opportunity for differentiation, the students get to choose which artist or designer will inspire their design. The overall premise being the clock would be sold in the gift shop of an Art and Design Museum. To add an elements of realism, they also graphically design an A3 sized marketing poster, advertising their clock. They must use at least two distinct materials, primarily choosing between wood, acrylic and various sheet metals
