This week students began researching images from the internet for inspiration sources for their Grad Cover Designs.
Recently, students have viewed a video on the basic principles of graphic design and advertising art which will be discussed and reviewed in class. Students will explore the use of type in a layout in the near future.
The 8th grade will begin with a pencil layout for the Graduation Cover Design
for the Class of 2008. The varied images from internet research and photos will be incorporated in the development of a concept or theme for this design.
Also, this weekend is the deadline for entering the Darien Women's Club Youth Art Fair which is open to students in the 6th,7th,and 8th grade. Students may enter work in all types of media.
Stop by the artroom by this Friday to pick up an entry form or help with the matting and presentation of your artwork. It should be a great way to show your talent and creativity!
