VISUALIZE IT! GRAPHIC DESIGN

Grades 6 - 12 | Up to 30 Students

In this virtual workshop, a MODA instructor will lead students through the basics of graphic design using the free, online platform called Canva. 

We’ll talk about representing data, understanding bias, and how to create a more powerful impact by using design! We will end with a hands-on lesson on creating graphs, posters, pamphlets, or presentations.

Upon request, we can customize this virtual workshop to incorporate the curriculum that your students are studying right now!
