We've been challenged to create a lesson plan that involves having students use technology to create a product. It's been a little difficult trying to think of something, because while I love learning about new things and using new things, I don't ever know about the resources that are out there.
Right now, I'm considering a design project. Color schemes are a basic, essential topic in Interior Design, so I'm thinking about creating a lesson plan that has the students create their own color scheme. We learned about http://colorschemedesigner.com/, which allows you to experiment with different color schemes -- monochromatic, analogous, triad, etc -- and I think that would be a great tool to use in the classroom. I might have the students visit this website and come up with a color scheme, then create a piece -- a rug, a painting, or a fabric -- using photoshop or some other technology that brings all the colors together.
I've only used photoshop once in my life, so I don't know how plausible this is, but we'll see.
Bye.

I'm not exactly sure how you are planning to use Photoshop but I'm sure it'll work. Your idea sounds like a good one. Let me know if you need some input on how to use Photoshop for this project.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of having them edit a photo in photoshop, but I'm not really sure. If I had them just find paint colors, flooring, and the artwork/rug/fabric online after using the website to choose a color palette, would that be enough technology use?
