My Students
My students are starting their own digital marketing agency for the Kansas City area and need your help to be competitive. The students at our high school are from low-income areas and attend schools that have difficulty finding teachers and resources. Our school is a technical branch that buses students from their high school to ours in order to learn practical job skills.
My classes will specifically focus on digital marketing and video production for local businesses in the Kansas City area.
Our objective is to teach students the skills they need to work for an advertising agency or corporate digital marketing department. Another important objective of our class is to promote locally owned businesses and charities in our area. We will be managing the businesses and charities as our clients.
We will be creating email marketing campaigns, social media posts, and videos to capture the essence of being a locally owned business in Kansas City. Help us make our space bright, creative, inspiring, and technologically capable. The investment we make now will empower our students for years to come in the workforce or when they open their own business.
My Project
This year I am focused on finding more ways to inspire my students to be better artists and illustrators. By creating a classroom library, I have found ways to inspire them to look at photographs to come up with ideas of things to photograph. Sometimes they look at graphic design books and art.
This new section of our classroom library will be to encourage them to learn to draw things they come up with in their imaginative minds.
I remember when I was a young boy going to the library with my mother and checking out two books every time I went. These books were step-by-step drawing books that I practiced over and over again. This gave me an edge when I moved into computer illustration because I could draw on those references in my mind. My hope is to create an area of our library where our students can practice drawing with these books and then translate it into the stories they tell with their animations.
