This week the 8th grade artists started a unit on Graphic Design and careers in Advertising Arts.
In conjuction with this unit of study the 8th graders have a real-life advertising assignment.
They are in the process of brainstorming ideas for the cover design of the Class of 2010 Graduation Program Cover Design for commencement this year.
As part of this assignment students are using a strong focal point or center of interest,graphic and pictorial symbols,and unified type with their designs.
The 8th grade artists are using the elements of line,shape and space, in addition to the principles of dominance and contrast in their final work. Currently, each art student has begun their cover with a pencil layout and a line of copy or phrase to enhance their cover design.
