Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 100

The entire 5th grade student body-learned about graphic design and the processes that artists use when creating wearable art. Students designed a personal computer generated image. Their personalized images were 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! The students used these shirts as the canvas to colloct fellow students autographs at the end of the year during the graduation festivities.
