My students are determined, creative, and fascinated by trying new skills and techniques in a variety of media. As a teacher who works in visual arts and technology I am always wanting to help my students see their work in real and meaningful applications.
Our students enjoy seeing how what they do can become a skill they can use for their future endeavors.
The students have a passion for success in their art and in their studies. They feel driven to be academically strong, and need time to also express themselves visually.
We are a visual arts technology lab that serves roughly six-hundred students a year which enables the students to explore classes like Digital Photography, Multimedia, Computer Graphics, Advanced Digital Art, AP Art and personal works in a club setting. I am so excited to see what incredible ideas and works our students can accomplish this year and in the future!
My Project
Our students are excellent at using mobile devices, but often struggle with using computers for research and artwork. I want to be able to give students access to materials that they can use to promote themselves, and immediately see their design in action on a product. By doing this I believe that they will be able to see how exciting what they create really is, as well as being able to see future opportunities for themselves.
The problem with digital classes is that so often the work is just that, digital, now they will be able to bring their work into the real world.
I will be able to explain the professional design process, and rather than having to ask the students to imagine their design on a t-shirt, mug, or a hat I will be able to help them actually place their design on an object that they then can use. This will also increase engagement by making the lessons more meaningful and real.
