Logo Design

Logo is a brand or symbol that gives companies a representation of it's products, meaning, idea, target audience, purpose, values.... 

Students in this lesson were learning how to represent all those important parts of a company/brand through one symbol that will immediately be recognizable. High school and middle school students learned  a lot about the designing processes. How it takes a lot of research, brainstorming with keywords and images,  creative thinking and experimenting with shapes, colors and writing styles.

Artists of the Month

February is month of Aesthetic Appreciation. Taking into consideration effort, originality, persistence and focus,  I decided to recognize two young artists that did an exceptional work in our 'texture' lesson and created some amazing artworks this month:

Turner

Wei Wei

Portrait prints

I saw a similar activity here: https://www.raisingdragons.com/drawing-portraits-age-4/

so I thought we can try this with my 6 year old class. 

On a transparent plastic sheet, students traced the face of their partner with tempera paint, and than printed the image on paper. It's a great activity in observation, hand/eye coordination and painting. The portrait prints turned out fantastic!
