This following assignment is the first assignment for the year
for Advanced Art

knowledge of the Appleworks Drawing and Painting programs. They will also begin
their year feeling ownership of the art program, as these posters will be used
in the art classroom as examples and reinforcements throughout the year

Teenagers
fall prey to savvy marketing strategies every single day. In this project,
students are asked to “sell” an imaginary product with a nonsensical
name. Students are asked to answer the following questions:
1. What is the product’s function?
2. What are the benefits of the product?
3. What are the features? Describe the color, size, etc.
4. Who is your audience?
5. Where will you advertise your product?
6. Where will you sell you product?
Students are required to use their imaginiations for the function of the product.
A silly, unrealistic purpose is encouraged. For example, if the student has been
given a “widget” as their product, they might answer question #1, “A
widget is a type of cheese that puts your hair into a ponytail when you eat it.”
Once these questions
are answered, students will then create a marketing flyer for their product.
On the flyer, students must include:
1. The function of the product.
2. The benefits of choosing this particular product.
3. The price of this product.
4. Where you can get this product.
Students will present their flyers to the class at the end of the project.SOLS:

In the French class they have developed trifold brochures for the various parts of France. I would present the draw program and than have them develop a travel poster.
The library has a partnership wirh the 8th grade Health & PE classes. They do research on a health topic. A product of that research could be a poster related to their topic, such as anti-drug, heath safety, disease awareness, etc.
The programs would offer a great alternative to the usual visual for a book report.
In English classes, I work with
many classes doing poetry research. They could use either the paint or
draw program
to present
a visual
interprtation
of their
favorite poem.
The draw program would be a good alternative way to demonstrate student
understanding of vocabulary words. This would be especially great for the
kinesthetic learner
or special education student.
