A-Z is the new unit 12: Computers in Art brief that I wrote over Christmas. It explores methods, principles and the history of type with the end result being a digital/hand made alphabet book that showcases various themes and techniques discovered. Each week the 1st year students are given out their daily tasks sheets following this brief, it explains the topic, artists info and what the end result of each session should be. Organic type was an idea I had from seeing Sarah Keehan's work, I wanted the guys to experiment with fruit and vegetables to see what sort of effects they could create by producing letter presses. It was a fun filled task with most of the students smelling of onions, potatoes and lemon. But a rather effective display of characters was produced which they will go onto to use when produce a scene form a children's book on Adobe Photo shop.
