Creative Transform (CT) sits at the Creative row and Transform column of the PICRAT grid. Below: real Art lessons for KS4 that classify as CT, plus anti-examples that look CT but are not.

Generative art piece responding to live data

Year 10 · 240 min · 1 device per student

Each student builds a small generative art piece in p5.js that responds to live data (mouse movement, audio input, current weather data, time of day). The piece must be defensibly generative (not just decorative) and must change visibly when the input changes. Students publish to a class gallery and write a 150-word artist's statement.

Tools: p5.js

Augmented reality public art installation

Year 11 · 300 min · 1 device per student plus AR-capable phones

Each student designs a virtual sculpture or installation that exists at a specific real-world location (e.g. the school's main entrance, a local park, a town square). The installation must be viewable through an AR app when a viewer points their phone camera at the location. Students present by walking the class to the site and demonstrating.

Digital portfolio with embedded process video

Year 11 · 200 min · 1 device per student

Each student builds a digital portfolio of their term's artwork. The portfolio includes images of each piece, an embedded time-lapse video of the work in progress (filmed during studio sessions), a 200-word voice-over for each piece explaining intent and choices, and links to the source images and influences they researched.
