About Mr. McGehee

I grew up in the small town of Durant, Oklahoma and went to college at the University of North Texas in Denton, TX.  While at UNT, I received two bachelor's degrees: one in Radio, TV & Film Studies and one in History.  After moving to Bellingham in 2006, I attended Western Washington University in order to get my teaching certification.  I taught History and technology classes at high schools in Bellingham from spring 2010 to June 2012.  In the fall of 2012, I was happy to find what I consider to be a dream job here at MMS teaching digital art classes.  I enjoy the thrill of teaching classes that always change with the latest techniques and technology.

Aside from education, I have over 10 years of experience in graphic design, photography and the digital printing industry.  Living in Mount Vernon with my family, I enjoy cooking; looking for new music to listen to; listening to news podcasts and reading technology and design blogs.

Rundown: Week Ending 11/14/14

DateThursday, November 13, 2014 at 12:24PM

2nd period Design Team

This week, we explored the design principle of pattern in design and art.  To illustrate, we created repeating patterns using only 1 image. The representational square in the pattern is the image placed so it's recognizable to the viewer.  The second set of squares are abstract, made from distorting the original image.

Students have been posting this year to their own online portfolio blogs.  Please take a look at the doccument below to see your student's work so far this year!

5th & 6th Period Graphic Design

Most of this week was spent with students creating a list of student norms that will hang in our room and guide student behavior in our class.  Those norms can be found in the syllabus documents students took home to have reviewed and signed by families.  See the student norms in the syllabus here for 5TH PERIOD and here for 6TH PERIOD.
