This school year (2010-2011) I taught my first ever Graphics Class to the the high school seniors at my old high school. Now before I make it sound too glamorous... it's a tiny private school at our church and there were a total of three graduates this year. BUT, we love it and many of us FBCA brats have called it home. So, obviously, when the principal (and my second mom) asked me to teach Graphics last summer, I was delighted! My three students are great kids. One of them I've known since she was running around in diapers and her mom used to babysit me while my mom worked. The other girl, Kirida, is my best friend's little sister and I love being able to have a front row seat on this amazing girl's life... go Reeda! And last, but not least James was a newer edition to the group (if you can call four years together new!), but he was by far the one to pick up on all the "techy" stuff the fastest and excel. Needless to say I'm beyond proud of all three of my Graphics students, now Graphics graduates... go show the world how awesome you guys are! And for my lovely readers, here's some samples of their amazing work...
This was the graduation invitation that the class designed for all their guests. Each student did an assigned design in which they were allowed to show as much or as little individuality that they wanted, and then our wonderful principal had the final say of course... but this is almost exactly the way that our winning design was intended... amazing job, Reeda!
For their final projects they were each assigned a self portrait... James chose to do his in color while the girls kept their b/w with just a touch of some green eyes. They did a brilliant job, but I have to say, these don't come close to doing you guys justice ;)
I have more to post on the contribution I made to the graduation later (what kind of Graphics teacher would I be if I didn't add my touch to it just a little???)... till then, everyone have a beautiful evening!
