Our graphic design and art projects will be inspired by Lady Macbeth, Hamlet, and Ophelia.

​

Students will learn to draw hands and skulls. They'll hear passages read aloud and see other artists' renderings of the famous plays.

​

The class favorite was playing the role of a real-world graphic designer and designing PlayBills, Posters, and Billboards for a play. (Inspired by Courtney Sanford's job at the North Carolina Blumenthal Performing Arts Center when she was the graphic designer there.)
