Art+-+Alternative+Assignment+Day+1

=ART - Alternative Assignment -- Day 1=

Today you will make a **heading and summary for your poster.** (You will attach these to your poster later. Please keep everything in your manila folder and leave it in the library.) Also, on the **back** of your poster list**: your name, your grade, your teacher's name and the date.**

__**Heading**__ Your heading needs to be your topic on your poster. Consider the size and style/font of the text. For example, if you chose Ceramics as your topic your heading may look something like this: Ceramics You may either use Word Art or draw the text in block or bubble letters. If you choose to draw, use a pencil and draw lightly in the beginning. Use a ruler to keep letters straight and neat when needed. This is your opportunity to show your artistic side, you may be creative but make sure the letters are clear. You may want to draw directly on the poster or on a separate sheet of paper but keep in mind that the heading should be slightly larger than all of your other information on the poster. You may want to use color and outline the letters with sharpie.

__**Summary**__ Your summary is the overview of your topic. Research and describe what your topic is. This may be a short paragraph including a definition. If you chose an artist, don't forget to include what type of artist he or she is. You should use MS Word. Your information needs to be current, interesting and informative. Your information needs to be **written using your own words**. You may not just "copy and paste" the original information into your summary. Include the name of the website and the URL at the end of your summary. After you are done typing you should save your text in your personal folder on the computer. You should also print it out and keep a copy in your manila folder in the library. You will display your summary on your poster at a later time.
