L.O.2 planning making my model

To make my model ship I will work with the teacher and use the materials that are available to us. The materials that we can use are cardboard, paper, glue, fabric, paint, wood, thin wire and string. To put the model together we will be using some equipment that are in her room. Some of the equipment that I will use is a glue gun and a carving knife. We will begin by first making the hull of the ship. Then the deck and then everything on the deck. After we have done the basic shape of the ship we will begin to add detail to in. Some of the detailed things we will add to the ship is the two masts and walkways between the superstructure and the outermost walls on the side of the ship running down the length of the ship starting from where the bridge starts and going back however we will not add the portholes yet I we can we will add detail to the inside of the ship next but only where it is important e.g. the bridge and wheelhouse. After we have done the shape and detail we will start to paint it. First we will paint the Hull of the Ship then the deck and everything on it. When the hull is dry I will put in the portholes and if I can the propeller. The portholes will be little circles of paint either white or a yellow type colour to show that the light is on. If we do this then I will need to make some of them black because not all of the lights would be on but this would make them hard to see so I will probably make all of them yellow. When the ship has been painted and it has all dried if we were able to make parts of the inside e.g. the wheelhouse then I will paint them. Because of the things we are using to make the model detail will be hard to make so if I want to put any detail on to the ship then I will need to paint them on. Some areas of the ship that will be hard to paint will be the deck because I don't want it to be just a single coulor. Another hard area is the wheelhouse and the bridge because it is inside the ship and it will be difficult to get the paint brush inside. If everything goes very well and we have the right materials then I could add a light in the wheelhouse that can be turned on and off. Another bit of detail that I could make is railings on the deck of the ship at the bow and stern. To make them I could use thin bits of wire. This might be a bit hard because it would be hard to bend because it is small and would need to be put into the deck witch could damage it. Another thing that I could put onto the bow of the ship is heavy chains made of thin wire and other things that would have been on a ship at the time. On the structure that is on the deck I will put doors into the ship. They will not open and will be painted a darker brown then the deck. Another fine bit of detail that I could paint on is to draw a golden coloured hand rail down the length of the ship in the walkways of the ship. On the bridge and on decks that overlooked either the bow or stern there are, instead of railings low walls that you can look over. Here I will paint a brown wooden rail that would have been there if the ship was real. If I decide to name the ship then after the hull has dried I will write the name of the ship in gold on the side just below the deck at the bow. The basic coulors of the ship will be a red keel with the rest of the hull black (not including portholes) the deck will be a light brown colour. (If I can I will use slightly different shades to make it look like decking not just on colour) The structure on the deck will be white. The bottom 3/4 of the funnel will be orange and the top will be black. Between the hull and the deck there will be a thin gold strip. The portholes will be a dim yellow and the propeller will be bronze coloured.

L.O.2 planning health and safety

There are a lot of health and safety law concerning construction. One recent one says that a designer must “eliminate hazards and risks during design” and “to provide information about remaining risks”. This was in the construction design and management regulations 2007. http://www.hse.gov.uk/construction/cdm/designers.htm In The Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) regulation 1996 it says that “No part of a structure shall be so loaded as to render it unsafe to any person” In The Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) regulation 1996 it says that “Every place of work shall, so far as is reasonably practicable, be made and kept safe for, and without risks to health to, any person at work there.” In The Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) regulation 1996 it says that “25.—(1) There shall be suitable and sufficient lighting in respect of every place of work and approach thereto and every traffic route, which lighting shall, so far as is reasonably practicable, be by natural light. (2) The colour of any artificial lighting provided shall not adversely affect or change the perception of any sign or signal provided for the purposes of health and safety. (3) Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (1), suitable and sufficient secondary lighting shall be provided in any place where there would be a risk to the health or safety of any person in the event of failure of primary artificial lighting” In The Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) regulation 1996 it says that “26.—(1) Every part of a construction site shall, so far as is reasonably practicable, be kept in good order and every part of a construction site which is used as a place of work shall be kept in a reasonable state of cleanliness. (2) Where necessary in the interests of health and safety, the perimeter of a construction site shall, so far as is reasonably practicable, be identified by suitable signs and the site shall be so arranged that its extent is readily identifiable. (3) No timber or other material with projecting nails shall— (a)be used in any work in which the nails may be a source of danger to any person; or (b)be allowed to remain in any place where the nails may be a source of danger to any person.” In The Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) regulation 1996 it says that “27.—(1) All plant and equipment used for the purpose of carrying out construction work shall, so far as is reasonably practicable, be safe and without risks to health and shall be of good construction, of suitable and sound materials and of sufficient strength and suitability for the purpose for which it is used or provided. (2) All plant and equipment used for the purpose of carrying out construction work shall be used in such a manner and be maintained in such condition that, so far as is reasonably practicable, it remains safe and without risks to health at all times when it is being used.” http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1996/1592/regulation/9/made In addition to the health and safety laws you have to perform a risk assessment of the area that you are building something in. A risk assessment Is when you look around the place where you look around the place where work will happen and finding all of the things that could cause harm to people. You do a risk assessment to see if there are any precautions that you can take to make the place you will be working in safer. To perform a risk assessment first you have to walk around the place you will be working and try to find any hazards that could harm people. After you have done this you need to consider who these risks could harm and then that will help you to decide what action you can take to prevent injury. When you know all of the hazards then you need to see if any of them can be removed or controlled so they don’t cause harm to people. After you have finished the risk assessment you have to write down what you found out but you should keep it simple so that you can quickly review it at another time.

L.O.2 planning copyrighting

To get a copyright you have to go to www.copyright.co.uk . You can copyright a script, book, design, photos. You need to pay for each copyright but if you are a business then you can get more than one copyright registration at a time. To get one copyright registration it costs £84. If you buy ten then it is £419 and if you buy 40 the it costs £910. You can but between 1 and 1000 copyrights at a time. Today the law is that if somebody gets a copyright for something the made then it will last their entire life and for 70 years after they die. When you apply for a copyright you have to tell them basic information about yourself e.g. where you live, what job you haveand if you work for a company. The process of getting a copyright is 1. Get what you want to copyright ready to send off on a computer 2. Log in to www.copyright.co.uk 3. Pick how many copyright you need 4. Upload the file with what you want to copyright in it 5. Fill in your details and confirm and send it 6. After it has uplaoded your creation is protected 7. You recive confirmation of your copyright and you can now download proof of your copyright.

These are the desigs i made for my model

L.O.2 planning what i will make

To help me get an idea of what I am going to make I made several designs of it and saved them separately. The first is my model without any detail. I made this to show the basic shape of the ship I will make. While making the first design I lowered the height of the boat deck because I thought that it was too high and it would not look very good. The second design is on I drawn with some additional detail. In this design I have changed some parts of the ship. I added a mast at the front of the ship. I did this to give the ship more detail. Another change I made was to make the bridge shorter because before I made the change it went too far back. The final change I made was to add a flag at the back of the ship. The next design I made was the same as the second but I have drawn lines across the ship to show the different decks and so that when I put portholes on it will be easier to line them up so they are in the right place. The fourth design I made added colour to the design. I am not using too many colours on the ship. I am using red, black, white, orange, brown and a strip of gold along the side of the ship. A few changes I made to the design of the ship was to add a second mast at the back. I did this to make the ship look a bit more even. Another change I made was to add small whistles to all of the funnels. They would have been used to release high pressure steam. I put the on to make the ship look better. I also changed the shape of a part of the back of the ship from a square to a different shape. The final design I made added a hole for the anchor and 3 propellers at the back of the ship. Both of these changes were to add detail to the ship. The only other difference is that on my final design I have annotated it to show where everything would be if it was a real ship.

What is an artefact

An artifact can be anything that someboday makes. It can be used to show an idea or to look nice.
