New Graphic Design Course a Success!

As we continue with the Graphic Design course offered to our AP Art students, we feel confident that students are gaining valuable information to advance in their career choices for areas such as marketing, communications, public relations and art. Since the course is mainly dealing with artwork online, it is a co-teaching effort between the art teacher and technology specialist to help students get both the artistic and technical perspectives of the program.
Students have been creating wonderful projects that truly show their artistic ability as well as being able to handle 21st century skills with advanced technology programs.

Criminology students research "Cereal Killers!"

Students completed their latest project on Serial Killer Research. After investigating a specific person, they designed a "cereal" box that displayed all of their information. In this creative assignment, students presented all of the facts, dates, victims, evidence found and statistics related to their crimes. Detailed background information highlighted the psychological profile of their killer, while an included "prize in the box" showed an example of the killers personal trademark. The result was not only entertaining, but beneficial to students to learn about the serial killer profile and types of criminals in society.
