News from Mr. Pinciotti in the Art Room
Through a grant from The Bexley Education Foundation, our fourth graders are excited to design VANS-style tennis shoes customized for a local business. This project teaches about the design process and working to meet the needs of a client. Twenty, local business people have donated their time for interviews with our fourth-grade artists. The information about their company that students learn through the interviews will inform their design choices. Mr. Langolf (Sync Creative) started the project off for students by providing an insider’s look into marketing and design careers. Students are excited to begin this project; look for design proposals to be displayed during our Spring Art Hop.
