This Term the year 8 Visual Arts students have been using the design process to design and create a personal avatar. The aim of this project is:
To inform students of the role of the contemporary illustrator as a career path
To provide written and illustrated content about the design process that an illustrator follows
To develop skills in freehand drawing and digital drawing using Adobe Illustrator
As you can see from the student’s responses below, they have used this task to reflect and express their personalities and we are extremely proud of their achievements.
“This term in year 8 Vis comm we designed a mini me avatar expressing who we are. My character includes many posters of brands, books and bands that describe me. My character also has bright bold fun solid colours that pop. By Jessie Henwood”
“He has the transgender flag as I myself am trans, he has a bag head to symbolise anxiety.. and also, the fact that I can’t draw short hair! On top of the bag is a bird, specifically a wren because my name is…. Wren! I really loved this task, I learnt so much on photoshop, all the different tools, it was amazing. By Wren Burnett”
