JWB Students Level Up Their Artistic Skills

Students in JWB Art Teacher, Ms McNaughton's Art classes got a chance to combine their creativity and critical thinking skills to design and make their own games. The project started off by talking about game strategy and types of games. Students had to make everything from scratch-- the board, the cards, the characters, and the dice and spinners. They had to decide what materials to use, including cardboard, clay, paint, and other miscellaneous items. Students had to create and write the directions and present the games to the class before they played. The game designs were based on collaboration between group members, and they had to learn to listen and reflect on their team mates' suggestions.
