2nd Year Wood Technology Picture Frame Project.

Creativity was the focus of this project as there are loads of areas for the students to add their own designs. Students were given the theme “someone or something important to me” for the middle design. Well done to all 👏🏼

Over the weekend students in our 2nd year graphics class were given the task of designing a perfume / aftershave bottle while incorporating the construction of the ellipse. Here are some of the results. Who knows we may see these on the shelves in years to come! @GCCcork @JCt4ed

Our 1st Year Wood Technology class today finished up their first project. The racing car is a great way to implement the use of basic hand tools as well as the trenching process. Students are tasked with designing a livery for the car as well as a spoiler and splitter. @GCCcork

Our 2nd year graphics were this week inspired by @techStMacs, implementing perspective into their ellipse drawings. A great way to mix many topics into one! Students seemed to really enjoy the task and the work produced shows that! Well done to all 📐✏️ @GCCcork @JCt4ed
