I have found many of my class project ideas from other graphic design teachers and from reading a ton of material. I have worked to adapt the projects to make them relevant to my kids and to reflect my program but I am eternally grateful for the people who did the initial leg work!
my school blog
This year I started teaching graphic design at the private school here at Shawnigan Lake (Shawnigan Lake School). I'm teaching two classes ~ Juniors and Seniors in the Fine Arts after school program. It's been a steep learning curve but challenging and fun. To help keep the kids in the loop I created a blog where I post their project assignments and some of their finished work.
