Project 1: Embracing Challenges
|
LEARNING: In this project, student artists learn about four different artists who faced mental or physical challenges and turned these challenges to their advantage. |

CREATING: Student artists experiment with the idea of limitations. They are tasked with creating a sculpture from limited (recycled) materials. They finish by working with (a limited palette of) paint and mixing colors to complete their sculpture |

CONNECTING: This project is thematically aligned with the topic ‘embracing challenges’. Specifically, it addresses the idea of overcoming challenges through initiative, creative problem solving, and perseverance. |
Project 2: Art & Advocacy

LEARNING: Students learn about how graphic designers can advocate through design: they learn about water problems around the world (pollution, access, and overuse), and look at and analyze ways that graphic designers have brought attention to this issue through their design. |

|
CREATING: Students choose an issue that they feel strongly about and become graphic designers; they design a poster simplifying their issue into an easily digestible poster using the elements of movement, emphasis, and balance. |
