A team of UMMA Gallery Educators recently visited Scarlett Middle School and designed logos with every 6th grade math class. Students created layouts for a fictional company called FASTER, which provides schools with super fast internet service.
Curated myUMMA Group
This myUMMA group was developed to gather works of art that use shapes on a grid to communicate a message, just like we were asking the students to do with their logos.
Finished Student Work
These student work examples show how some students chose to depict “faster” motion through letters, others represented figures, and some decided on abstract forms.
