Crafting a Timber Candle Holder Workbook

Posted on by Mr Sully

I spent some time over the summer break putting together a workbook full of resources. This year, we’re going to work on making a cute little wooden candle holder, but feel free to switch it up and do your own thing! Use whatever parts you like. Hit me up on Bluesky if you spot any typos or have cool ideas or stuff I should add. It’s still a work in progress! If there’s enough interest, I could share some of the Affinity Designer/Publisher files I put together so you can tweak them however you want.

New Graphics Worksheets

Posted on by Mr Sully

Another long delayed post, there’s just so much going on that I’ve neglected this blog. So today I thought I’d post some worksheets I’ve just created for a beginning Graphics Technology class. These are the first few completed and I’m pretty happy with my workflow at the moment, so if I don’t get sidetracked I will continue to post them as I go.

Remember, I’d be more than happy to collaborate if you have any ideas. Recently I’ve been considering a unit on designing card games like Pokémon or Magic the Gathering as my son has hit that age and I find the whole thing quite interesting. My initial research leads me to the conclusion there’s much more to these games and many people take them very seriously. My only problem is… I’m having trouble understanding the actual game, maybe I’m too old. A student did ask me if I had ‘Old Timers’ disease today.

Please feel free to download and share these worksheets.

Pixar your car!

Posted on by Mr Sully

I made a tutorial a couple of years ago for a IST/Graphics. Students took a picture of their own car and then ‘Pixarfied’ them turning them into something from the animated kids flick Cars. I haven’t used it for a few years, however, as I clean through old hard drives and organise work I came across the handout. I’ve made a couple of modifications and the grid at the end was an early attempt at ‘gamification’ which never stuck. Students feel free to use it and Photoshop (it’s on your laptops!) for fun or practice. Teachers feel free to download it and use it with your classes.

Resistor Colour Wheel

Posted on by Mr Sully

Organising some work for my Tech Graphics class today and while using Illustrator I knocked up a Resistor Colour Wheel for anyone who does electronics. I made one with a class many years ago but had long since lost the worksheet which I built with Publisher. I made this one up for a colleague who I was explaining the idea to the other day. It’s so interesting  to remake resources like this with new tools and new skills, it makes you fully realise how far the technology has progressed, or perhaps how much I learned.

Anyway download it with the link (the pre-coloured one is for the teacher) and use it in class.
