Teaching Graphic Design
Posted in Graphic Design, Secondary Education on October 3rd, 2016 by dlbryant.teachTeaching Graphic Design was definitely one of the highlights of my year thus far. The teacher (Mrs. Childress) and I had some very great conversations, which we had conversed about different things and we were learning from each other. One student, to the right of the girl working on Marilyn Monroe, he was working on a logo for a teacher at Bryant High School. He did not know much about how the printing process worked. He had asked me about colours and I had told him the print shops do not normally charge much for anything that is black and white, but they do charge for colour, which is very expensive. I know this as a Graphic (Independent Artist) and being a Mid-level Graphic Designer at an in-house business at PBW/MWW where I do the print jobs for clients working alongside another Graphic Designer. We talked about colours: how they work, function, meant, etc. He was able to go from five colours down to two colours only (not including black and white).
I was able to help, teach, and assist other students as well. Wonderful experience and I look forward to observing and teaching more classes.
