Link to Design History Timeline. This is a good place to start and has a list of notable people from that design era. Link to the editable class Graphic Design History Presentation. Must be logged into DPS gmail account to access. Graphic Design History ResearchLearning Objective: Students will conduct research on an assigned era in Graphic Design history and create a series of Google Slides to present their understandings to the class. Students will then create an informational poster about their Design History Era. Slide 1: When was it? What is it? What was happening during that time in history? (For example, was it during WWI etc.) Summarize the design movement in two sentences. WHAT'S YOUR PITCH?! Why should we care?! What is this movement known for and what was it influenced by? Slide 2 & 3: Who are two important designers we should know? Why should we care about them? What’s the essential information we should know? Provide Examples of their work Slide 4-5: Break down the visual design aesthetic. What are some of the common visual themes? What elements and Principles of Art and Design are used? How could we use this style in modern day design? Can you find modern design examples? Ask yourself: IS THIS INFORMATION ESSENTIAL? We don't need to know birth dates and boring stuff like that. What information is going to make us all better designers?

Answer the same set of questions for each design that you created.
For right now, save it as a Google Word Doc and then we will add the artwork and the artist statement to our websites at a later date. What images did you use to represent your PAST self? Why did you choose those images? What element of design did you decide to focus on for this design? Do you think your design is successful? Why or why not? What images did you use to represent your PRESENT self? Why did you choose those images? What element of design did you decide to focus on for this design? Do you think your design is successful? Why or why not? What images did you use to represent your FUTURE self? Why did you choose those images? What element of design did you decide to focus on for this design? Do you think your design is successful? Why or why not? If there's anything else you'd like to add to your statement, feel free to add it into your statement. Artist statements are an opportunity for YOU to explain your work to the viewer. Learning objective: students will design a series of 3 digital artworks that reflect themselves in a personal way by incorporating the elements of art and meaningful imagery.
Project specs: Create 3 individual 6" x 6" squares. If you create them in photoshop put them at 300 pixel resolution. You can use whatever program you want: Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign or even a mix of all three! Design for your audience: INSTAGRAM. Envision your squares as an Instagram post. What would you like people to know about you? What are you comfortable with sharing online? (Don't worry, you don't have to actually post them on Instagram.) One square will represent your past self. One square will represent your current self. One square will represent your future self. Include the Elements art: One square must use the design element of SHAPE. One square must use the design element of LINE. One square must use the design principles of REPETITION. The Elements and Principles of Art can also work together. As you see in the design examples below, some posters use SHAPE and LINE in their work. That's totally okay! If you want to combine elements, go for it! NO TEXT/WORDS ALLOWED. How can you tell your story VISUALLY using only images, shapes, and lines? Upcoming Deadlines: First-round critique Tuesday, August 29th You will receive feedback from me, and your peers on how to edit and improve your work. The more you have finished on this date, the more helpful the critique will be for you! You must have at least 2 out of the 3 squares designed for this critique. |
