Year 4 visit to The Design Museum

On Wednesday 1st March Y4 set off on the Tube for a fun filled day at the Design Museum in Kensington.  There was chance to explore an exhibition of work by contemporary designer, Yinka Ilora which was bright and eye-catching.  Then we walked through the permanent Designer-Maker-User display and marveled at a range of objects from the past through to more cutting-edge designs.  Both classes were treated to a workshop on the topic of chairs, looking at examples with different functions and then designing a concept for their own unique chair.  The skills we learnt will be used in our next Art project- Cosy Corner designs.
