Art 8 Lego Sculptures: Alien Plants


We had some fun in our Art 8 class the other day using lego as a sculpture medium.  The kids worked in small, loose groups, I piled an assortment of random lego (only basic pieces) on their table and gave them challenges.  We had a blast, made cool stuff, photographed it quickly, then destroyed our creations and started again - just as we should with lego!

Art 8 Lego Sculptures: Birds

Some more lego fun! - I loved watching how engaged the students were.  It's interesting how their process changes when presented with a medium that they are so familiar with.  They could get right down to the act of creation and problem solving without having to worry about how good their drawing was or how to make clay do this or that.

Graphics 12: Book Covers

An annual assignment for my Grade 12 Graphic Design students and one of my favourites.  They have to do their own photography, plan the imagery to connect with symbols or themes from the book, include a synopsis, author bio, review bites, publisher mark and title design.  It's definitely a journey but well worth it considering the quality of the designs that were submitted.
