Since most homerooms are discussing Earth Day, students first started brainstorming about Earth Day t-shirt designs. To get our brains moving in the right direction, we first watched the trailer for Disney's Planet Earth. For some more creative ideas, we checked out poster designs that artists around the world created. Since their goal was to combine both text and images to create an "Earth Day" graphic that could be worn on a t-shirt, this was great inspiration. Check out that website here!
Once we finished our brainstorming, we started imputing our designs into the computer. Of course, after the students designed their own Earth Day designs, I encouraged them to try designing their favorite sports jersey, class t-shirt, or future SMOY emblem. As we are ending the school year, I wanted all students to realize they had the tools to do amazing work in a software program they all had access to. It is my job to teach them the skills they need, as I would love all students to explore and take their learning to the next level!
NEED ANOTHER EXAMPLE?
Check out this t-shirt that Miss Wilmes made for her drama program! She just found an image on Google that she liked and added in some words in a cool font of her choice. It's that easy!
