Periodic Table of Elements Poster Design Project
Brilliant Words of Advice From 14 Graphic Designers
Using graphic design, create three posters that convey an element of the periodic table in a new way. These 11x17 posters will come together eventually to create a new periodic table for us to display.
You may use any medium, including computer and mixed media.

Sketchbook Information
What is a sketchbook?
Your sketchbook is a place for you to collect, develop and grow ideas. The word “sketchbook” is a confining term, but I do not want this place to be a confining place for you. Instead, consider it your idea book. Another term that you may have heard of is a “visual journal.” You will use these books for recording ideas and your process throughout the school year, in and out of class.
What goes in my sketchbook?
You are not confined to “sketching” in this book. Instead, it should be a place for experimentation in different media, recording your process, writing, collecting, drawing, gathering things that you love, that inspire you, that confuse you, that anger you. Your sketchbooks could/should contain written notes, photos, exhibition leaflets, photographs you find, photographs you take, postcards, sketches, experiments with different media, analysis of artworks, reviews of cultural events attended, mind maps, records of discussions, develop and/or practice skills, written reflections on progress as well as more ‘finished’ drawings, paintings and designs. Your sketchbook is there to support your development as an artist and specifically as ‘nourishment’ for your studio artwork. In addition, your sketchbook should also contain notes relating to the integration of our two subjects, in this case, chemistry and art.
What should I do when I work in my sketchbook?
Your sketchbook needs to relate to the themes and material that we are discussing during class. When you address a theme, you should be doing it in a thoughtful, detailed and complete fashion.
Please also follow the guidelines below when working in your sketchbook.
How much should I do?
For each week of the marking period, you should fill a minimum of 1 detailed page in your book (about 1 hour of time a week). Do work regularly in your book (set aside 2 hours a weekend regularly or work 15 minutes each day, or 30 minutes every other day), don’t leave it all to the last minute.
When are they due?
Sketchbooks will be due the last day of the marking period. Remember that no late work will be accepted.
What will I be graded on?
When assessing your sketchbook, I will be looking for the following things:
· Effort: You are spending the expected time and effort on the work and pages are complete thoughts and visually complete.
· Purpose: It is obvious that your work has an idea and reason behind it, it has meaning.
· Creativity: You look at the theme with new perspectives, and you use unique images and ideas.
· Detail/Complexity: Pages are full of detail, the entire page is used effectively.
· Risk-taking: You try new things, you may even make mistakes, but you make them work
· Variety: You try a variety of media and/or ideas, you write and draw and collect and college, etc.

Please also follow the guidelines below when working in your sketchbook.
- Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Mistakes often lead to new ideas.
- Always finish what you start. If you stop a piece, go back and finish or change it, even if it is a month later. You must turn in a sketchbook that is full of finished ideas.
- Fill the pages and make what white space you leave valuable and meaningful.
- Try something new!
- Do not always work from photographs or existing images. Using others’ images can be considered plagiarism. Instead, work from what you see around you. When you work from life, your work will show that life. Although it is tougher and will take more work, the end result will be worth it. If you are inspired by an existing image, how are you going to change it to make it your own?
- Work with meaning. Do not put things in your sketchbook because you think they are cute or pretty. Everything you put in your sketchbook should have meaning and substance to them.
- Take risks. Your sketchbook is your place for exploration. It is okay if things don’t make sense yet to other people. Don’t be afraid to do something different or challenge your viewer
- Make sure you site your sources when you include images, writing and work from others in your book
- Write the theme and date on the pages your pages. I will not be able to grade your work if I do not know what I am looking at.
