A Champion For Learning - $1,827.00
Original Grant Overview
Goal
Sixth, seventh, and eighth Grade students will create, design, and print their personalized T-shirts to proudly wear and share on special days at school to demonstrate how art connects us to each other, the community, and the world!
What will be done with my students
Students will learn about graphic design and the processes that artists use when creating wearable art. Students will then design a personal (hand drawn or computer generated) image. Students will be encouraged to use "Connect for Success" theme to spread Social, Emotional Learning, and (SEL) messages. Their personalized images will be printed out on common copy paper then colored in with sublimation markers which allow for Science cross content applications regarding heat transformation concepts. Additionally, the students will use a heat press to transfer the images to a wearable T-shirt. Wa-la, a personal wearable t-shirt! FUN Right?
Benefits to my students
Students will learn about careers that are available for creative people including graphic design and print making. They will learn how artists create images that can translate into mass-produced items. Students will understand and experience the power of art by expressing themselves and the endless possibilities of art making will allow students to go places they never thought were attainable.
Budget Narrative
School year: 2022-23 on the end of the year survey this was rated by students the number one art lesson.
