Strode’s College
Models
Keen not to limit our
engagement with pupils and
students to those studying
history, we reached out to
Strode’s College’s Art and
Design Department and
began working with lecturer
Jim Brennan on a project for
his Design and Technology
students. Two groups were
given separate briefs. One brief
was to create models that
would help tell the Magna
Carta story, the other to create
medieval style chests that
could be used as set dressing
and for storage, both for
our pop-up exhibition in the
United Church. Both groups
were producing work that was
assessed as part of their exams.
The response was
overwhelming. Every student,
in both groups, signed up to
the project and produced a
model or chest (or similar). A
selection of these were then
exhibited in the United Church.
The project was so successful
that it is being repeated for the
2015/2016 intake of students.
