Saint Ursula Villa: Day 2

Dear Parents,

Thanks to Wednesday's snow day, Friday marked our second day of Design Genius! We had a wonderful time developing prints and patterns to help our Design Targets.

Part II: Thinking Like A Designer (continued from Monday's class!)

4. Ideating Prints
In our groups, we learned about three types of prints: those made out of shapes (like stripes, zig-zags, and dots), those made out of motifs (like soccer balls, cats, and music notes), and those made out of text, or typography. Like real designers, we took turns ideating, or drawing out a lot of ideas quickly, with these types of prints.

5. Revising Our Prints
We starred our favorite ideations and took time to discuss which design elements (like color, shape, or motif) were working and why. Then, we took time to draw out larger, revised prints; we spent more time on these to make sure they looked really good!

Check out some of our work!





















On Monday, we'll learn how our prints will become real products. Please check back soon!

Best,
Rebecca
