FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Pelletier's classroom raised $490

My Project

My students have an interest in graphic arts and this project will help their creativity in graphic arts expand through designing using the Cricut.

In this school year, the projects will expose the class to the career field of graphic arts as they work on these graphic design projects!

Students will learn how to transform their digital designs into physical creations by using technology to print, draw, and cut intricate details that are faster and more precise to achieve with machines than by hand.

The students will learn how to use Design Space on the computer to make digital images and then use the Cricut to put the project together. This project will support my students' career growth by teaching them advanced technology that will allow them to use their creativity with no limitations. They will be improving their critical thinking skills, motor skills, and life skills as they embark on career readiness.
