5th and 6th Grade: Keep Calm And...

This was a great lesson that focused on problem-solving and graphic design.  We learned about the history of the very first Keep Calm and Carry On poster from this awesome video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FrHkKXFRbCI) and then discussed the story and also the art occupation of graphic design.  Students had to come up with their own Keep Calm slogan, including a creative and effective logo or symbol that represented their slogan. They did 4 sketches, chose one, and used stencils to trace and cut their letters.  Then they drew and cut out their symbols, composed their poster, and glued it all together.
