We started off this year discussing how a TYPOGRAPHER is a type of artist that designs the way letters look to communicate a specific message. We examined and were inspired by Barcelona based graphic designer Alex Trochut and American Pop artist Robert Indiana for this unit. Students were challenged to illustrate the letters of their first name, nickname, or last name to express apart of their personality. We explored a variety of watercolor pencil techniques such as blending, cross hatching, shading, making a wash and then applied them to our designs to make our letters look more three dimensional.
