ART 8 - Warped Portraits

A fun little drawing assignment that explores mark-making, colour theory and value development.  I love how these turned out!

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 10: Text Poster

Man do I have some wonderful grade 10 design student this year!  This poster project is meant to continue the work that students have been doing with composition this year, utilizing colour, space, size to compose a dynamic, communicative image using only words as elements.  We usually construct them manually but this year we created them digitally (after doing a ton on thumbnails). I'm just thrilled with the results.  Click "read more" to see all the posters - it's worth it.

Graphics 11: Personal logo

These personal logos are the result of a really in depth project for which grade 11 design students deconstructed letterforms, developed them, combined them together to form logos - all by hand. They scanned the images and loaded them into Adobe Illustrator where they used the Live Trace and Live paint functions to develop them further.  There was a lot of exploration, development and experimentation going on, as demonstrated by the wide variety of designs resulting. I'm really pleased with the results and super proud of the students for the patience, determination creativity and independence that I requested/demanded of them right off the bat.

Graphics 10: Patterns

A Graphics 10 project that asked them to take simple paper collages and, through the magic of photoshop, develop them complex repeated patterns.  Love these.

Graphics 11: Pictograms

One of my favourite projects:  Pictograms by the grade 11's.  These are built in Illustrator primarily using the shape-builder tool; a project that asks them to consider the communicative power of images.  Topic: ridiculous rules.

Graphics Design 12: Logo Design

Graphics Design 12: Logo Design 

A senior design project to develop your own logo as a designer.  Emphasis on process takes another step forward in our grade 12 class in which we expect students to rigorously develop ideas and imagery and, similar to a math class, SHOW YOUR WORK!

COMMERCIAL DESIGN 12: ALBUM COVER DESIGN

This was the last assignment of the year: the cover design for a "best of" compilation of a favourite band.  I wanted something fun and personally fulfilling and the class requested a project that was very process oriented - music to my ears!  Link to the assignment here.
