Rundown: Week Ending 11/1/13
Wednesday, November 6, 2013 at 01:49PM 1st Period Graphic Design
Leading up to Dia de los Muertos on November 1, 1st, 2nd and 6th periods worked on creating traditional sugar skull designs. First, they searched online for images of calaveras, taking note of recurring design language (i.e., flowers over eyes; floral motifs; upside heart-shaped nose, etc.). Next, student's used the template like the one found HERE to create their design in Photoshop.
Like 1st period, 2nd period Graphic Design have been working on sugar skull designs (see 1st period description above). On November 1st, period 2 helped hang this display:

Following a discussion of the appearance in our school last year of several racist Halloween costumes, this class, using THIS set of guidelines, created awareness posters based on a similar campaign begun at Ohio University. The results were incredible!
