Graphic Design: Cereal Box Design

Students had to consider size, color, emphasis, balance, all the components of a cereal box, movement, the buyer of the cereal, a interactive activity for the back, and techniques of the design program used to create their design.

Clay Gingerbread Houses

This lesson is one that I got from a fellow art teacher at my school.

Learning Targets:
Students will create a functional gingerbread house using a slab method on hand building.  Students will be able to create a free standing gingerbread house.  Students will demonstrate how to connect clay pieces using scoring and slip.  Students will imitate textures and forms that they find in candies and confections.  The student will become more aware of the firing process.  The student will improve their understanding of design and creating texture.

The students had a lot of fun creating these projects.  We created them fast so that they would be ready for the Holidays.
