7th Grade Nature Words

The 7th grade has been working on a three day project discovering the benefits of good graphic design. We talked about needed to ship a package over night to our cousin in another state. As we were looking for companies to use we found one with a snail as their logo. I asked the students if they thought this was a good choice for an over night shipping company. They all agreed that the use of a snail icon was not the best choice. They all responded with cries of "No!! It should be a cheetah or a bird!" Which, I completely agreed.

Using the knowledge of understanding that images help our graphic design art work, we create words from nature that displayed characteristics of that word. An exanple would be the word ICE and the letters forming icicles and colored in with blues. The kids really did a fantastic job designing their words.
