🎨📚 7th Grade Cross Curricular Project: Digital Media Arts 📚🎨 Our 7th graders recently completed a project-based learning activity around Ghost by Jason Reynolds. They started in ELA, analyzing the novel and writing summaries with Mr. Rhors and Mrs. Hallenbeck. 📖 At the media center, they researched book cover design with Mrs. Lindsay, 🎨 and in digital media arts, Mrs. Meyer guided them in applying composition, color theory, and digital tools to redesign Ghost's book jacket, concentrating on typography and layout. Scholars showcased critical thinking, creativity, and real-world design skills, producing stunning reimagined book jackets. These are now displayed at Gloversville Middle School, highlighting the power of project-based learning in fostering academic and artistic growth. 🌟 #ProjectBasedLearning #EnglishLanguageArts #DigitalMediaArts #GhostByJasonReynolds #GraphicDesign #21stCenturySkills #CreativeCareers
