7th Grade: Graffiti Name Designs
This year I am teaching 7th grade again. I haven’t taught 7th grade for several years, so I have been taking notes from my colleague, Ms. Kwok, stealing some of her lessons and making them my own.
Each year, I have students create a Name Design for their first project. Last year I saw the Graffiti Name Designs that Ms. Kwok’s class did and knew I wanted to try them out!
Students began by using the website graffiticreator.net and making sketches to plan their design. (This was their first homework assignment!) The following class, they drew their name onto final paper in graffiti-inspired font. The other major requirement for this project was that they chose a color scheme.
In order to choose their colors, I provided several links that students for students to use. I love how this student planned out her colors by matching the Sharpies in our classroom with the colors in her color scheme.
