I was somewhat worried about what I might find wandering around the morning after Halloween night, but all students seem relatively focused. Indeed, I meandered into Marki’s art room where a third grader commented; “it seems awfully quiet in here.” And why not? The students were creating covers for their art portfolios, which would house much of their work for the year. So, they had to be perfect. Each student had selected a font and was copying the style (by hand) onto a cover. The pride they were taking in their work was palpable.
It was also great that students were beginning to see that the font you select sets a mood. In a world in which design is increasingly important, Duke School starts teaching those skills early and in an integrated way.
