Students used their brains to do some serious innovating! Each student went through an idea development process to invent their own shoe. Students were to consider both the function and aesthetic quality of their shoe and some fantasy elements were incorporated. In order to sell our shoe, students designed a print advertisement that would be found in a magazine. We looked at different ways to sell our product including typography, color schemes, slogans, and visual elements.

Using our study of plant structures from observational drawing, sixth graders invented their own plant species! They had to consider where it would live, what it would do, and how it would look. We then sculpted them out of clay and used tempera paint and Mod Podge for color.
Students used their knowledge of visual literacy and communication to visually represent a certain word. How could we use typography and visual elements to communicate what a word meant just by how it looked?

To gather knowledge on the structure of plants, sixth graders observed artificial flowers for a number of days. Drawing from observation like a scientist, students focused on composition, proportion, and value.
Op art, also known as optical art, is a style of visual art that uses optical illusions. Students used markers or colored pencils to achieve this effect.
Sixth graders selected a book they enjoyed reading and designed a new cover for it. Looking at artists like Mikey Burton and Henri Matisse for inspiration, students used cut paper method to create clear, clean symbols.

Students looked at various clay containers over time and in different in cultures including Egyptian canopic jars and Greek vessels. Then they studied different advertisements and packaging for different products and redesigned a new product package to brainstorm different container ideas. They designed a clever container that will both be functional and design conscious out of clay.
