This report covers a visit to KCAD by the GRPS students to review the illustrations.
Room and Procedure Description:
Room and Procedure Description:
Kendall College of Art and Design. 7th Floor, Room 709. Brightly lit. KCAD Students presenting Revolutionary War Game card designs on Wacom Cintiqs to 7th grade students and their teachers.
Patterns from observed behavior:
Patterns from observed behavior:
- “Wow! Cool.” (Repeated student response after initially walking into the room and after viewing character designs.)
- Genuine appreciation for the history and the art - regularly heard student saying they liked the art or telling an artist that their work was, “So good.”
- Wanted to draw on our Cintiqs
- Students were engaged and respectful of whoever was speaking to the group and were quiet while listening
- Students, when allowed to wander freely, were mostly hesitant to talk to artists and would just observe unless spoken to
- Students responded positively to the most “action” in the cards
Patterns from interviews:
Patterns from interviews:
- Students were excited to work on the project but did not yet have much knowledge on the history- they could remember certain names and battles, but not specific events or noteworthy actions.
- Wanted to talk more about the art rather than history content connected to it
- Students were particularly interested in the Digital Art program and how it worked. They were allowed to test the Cintiq tablets for short intervals.
- Roughly 40% of the students said that they were interested in Art as a career, or had parents in an artistic occupation. Some were already familiar with Wacom tablets or had seen people use them before.
