Idea – Art Attack -Make a Giant Art Attack and Photograph it- Objectives: Intellectual

• Do you know what qualities you bring to a team? Emotional

• Do you stand up for what you believe in? Venture Scouts at SUAS phase

• Decide on a location and a timeframe for your project. • Divide the Unit into Two Crews, one to work on designs for your giant

art attack and the other to figure out ways to photograph it when it’s finished.

• The ‘Art Crew’ to showcase their designs to the unit and discuss the pros and cons of each design and how these could be done in large scale. After discussion with the Unit decide which design to build large scale.

• The ‘Tec. Crew’ to produce plans and materials to build the camera housing and a way to attach the camera to the aerial platform.

• Practice flying various aerial platforms, R.C. Helicopter, Balloon, Kite, etc. Decide as a group which one would be the most suitable for this project.

• Plan a BBQ and a slideshow of your photographs. Come up with a menu, shopping list and an equipment list. • Build your giant art attack at your local campsite/park. When it is finished launch your aerial platform and photograph it from

the sky or maybe take shots of your progress, form start to finish. • Have a slideshow of your work that evening with a BBQ and review session.

Venture Scouts at TRASNA phase

• Discus which sites would best suit your needs for this project, National Campsites, local park, farmers field, etc. • Choose a date to carry out the activity and check with the site for availability. • Divide your Unit into two Crews (Art Crew and Tec. Crew) to look at the two sides of the challenge. • Organise a presentation of the Art Crews designs, then discus which would be the best one for this project, ensure every

member has an opportunity to voice their opinion. • Lead the Tec Crew in designing, building and testing the camera housing. Ensure the camera functions needed, can be

operated remotely. • Arrange to have different aerial vehicles available for testing with the camera equipment. After testing discus the best option

to be used. • Plan a BBQ for that evening, discus who you should invite, maybe the Beavers or the Cubs will be on a hike that day and

are finishing in the same campsite. Arrange to have the equipment to have a slideshow, to show your work. • Direct your Crews during the build. Make sure everyone has a job and nobody is left standing around. • Present your photographs at the BBQ and let the Beavers/Cubs try flying some kites.
