Some of my grade 8 students are finishing off their last project where they were to design and create a character illustration personifying a font using Adobe Illustrator. We were running out of time so I decided to simply use the live trace and live paint options. We began the unit by looking at stereotypes, brainstorming ideas for the font and then making plans to develop the character. You can see the lesson plans here if interested. Feel free to look at the student creations via Flickr here. More will be added next week.
