November 6, 2015

On Friday, the sixth grade Graphic Design Class hosted visiting artist
David Hamilton

David is also the father to one of our Curley second grader in Ms. Ciardi's classroom! David is one of our many talented parents, bringing his skills and expertise to the Curley in many ways.  David is also the designer of our fabulous Curley Cares School Tee Shirt's and posters.   

The students in Graphic design were excited to have David, a professional Graphic Designer present a  lesson in  Designing Typography using Positive and Negative Space to create a class alphabet.  You can see the alphabet next to him on the right.

The students were amazed to see how many ways they could draw, identify and design just one letter.  Each student was given a letter and he told them to come up with designs 10 different ways. The challenge was they could only use  two shapes.  All the letters were added to the                             board and created an alphabet.  

6th grade students listen to the end of the lesson and have a discussion as to what we learned and how we could further use the letters we made in class.
