I recently took on the task of integrating a Computational Teaching micro lesson into my lesson plans for the Low Poly Portrait project I assign at the beginning of the semester for my second year students. The lesson includes a brief Google Slide presentation with an introduction to why using a grid could be helpful. It also has a couple videos that explain grids in detail and shows students how access the grid tools in Adobe Illustrator.
Overall I just want the students to realize there is a Grid Tool in Illustrator and that it will make their Low Poly Portrait come out with better results.
I hope the information in the presentation helps lead to a Grid Systems discussion going forward with the class. I liked this assignment (aka task) because I could build on this small presentation, and incorporate it into more lessons I have planned to reinforce the Grid System theory in Graphic Design.
This lesson integration is versatile, and the lesson seems more meaningful. I feel that integrating this simple presentation into more lessons is going to help improve results with the final composition and give the students more confidence when they approach layout design, helping them organize their visual communication.
