In my special needs art class I try to allow students to pursue their individual interests through art. I find subjects, techniques, styles or materials that they are interested in then try to facilitate different individual projects for them - it's definitely hit and miss, trial and error, but It tends to work better than giving everyone the same project all the time. On a whim one day I thought it might be fun for a few of my students to design hockey jerseys as they are both obsessed with sports. I did a quick drawing of a jersey, photocopied it and gave it to them. They have been working on these all year!
Casey Kong is obsessed with recreating the Jersey's of all highschools in the Vancouver district.
Christian Aquilini loves redesigning NHL jeseys and sometimes creating original super quirky designs.
I love them.
