We thought it was a good idea to have the kids design a VOF logo and have it printed on T-shirts! Who doesn't want a VOF T-shirt?

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A SCHOOL AGE KIDS PROJECT - YOUR CHILD MUST BE 6+ TO PARTICIPATE. PLEASE ONLY RSVP FOR THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN ATTENDING THE EVENT. THERE IS A LIMIT OF 40 PARTICIPANTS DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE SPACE.

In order to go about this, we would like to do a graphic design lesson for the kids around typography and hand lettering, and have them practice hand lettering their name in their sketchbooks.

We will go over bubble and block letters and talk about illustration and doodle art. We will have some examples to show the kids so they can get a visual idea of the explanation.

The kids will then create their own mark or logo using illustration and their own name. White and black paper will be provided for this project, and the kids will get to take their work home.

From there, we will collaboratively discuss ideas for designing a VOF logo. The kids will begin to understand what a collaborative art process looks like and feels like, as we have never done a collaborative project before. We will all discuss what should be included in the design, what VOF means to us and what it represents, what type of typography to use, what colours and symbols we should use, how big it should be, etc.

Paper will be provided for the kids to sketch their logo ideas and brainstorm for VOF symbols, words, colours, etc. These sheets of paper will be collected at the end of the class so that Beka and I can create a logo that combines all of the ideas to the best of our ability.

Please bring the following for each child:
\- a sketchbook
\- a pencil and eraser
\- coloured pencils\, felts\, or crayons

We will reveal the final logo when it is completed, and from there the idea is to have T-shirts printed as a VOF fundraiser. We will come up with an order form so families that would like a shirt/s can fill in quantities and sizes. The shirts will be 100% cotton, and hopefully we can print them cost effectively locally.

This is a fundraising effort, and a portion of the price from every shirt sold will go back to VOF to provide more excellent learning opportunities for our kids.

We are hoping to order T-shirts sometime in the New Year. Further details will be available when the time comes.

Please bring $2/child as a donation to the gallery for the use of their space. Please note the time slot.
