January 2017 - Art of Advertising

4th and 5th Grade

Project Title: Art of Advertising


Description:
  • The focus of this lesson was to teach 4th and 5th grade students to be critical thinkers as consumers.  Each artist designed a kids' product with attention to their container's size and shape, type of lettering/font, taste/flavor, healthy ingredients, image or "hook", color, and catch phrase or jingle.  We first studied existing kids' drinks and determined important components of a product.  Each student was assigned an art director to help guide them through the thought process.
