This was a lesson I saw floating around on numerous art sites for a while now. I knew my Grade 7-9 kids would love this lesson as they always listen to Spotify when they're working in class.
I started off with a brief slideshow about album cover art, showing some of the historically famous ones. Then, they had time to research which album cover they would do. They had the choice of e-creating their favourite album art or designing their own. I would say all of the class chose to copy one.
I first provided them with a practice sheet to try out different ideas.
(just Google 'playlist blank template, etc)
I had pre-printed a blank template (Google for free ones) onto 11 x 17" photocopy (tabloid size) paper.
I didn't want to have to have the kids use rulers and all that- but you could absolutely do that. This is just a time saving step, plus it looks pretty professional.
They could use any media they wanted, keeping in mind the paper is pretty thin.
You could also print the template onto cardstock.
Some kids prefer using the grid method!
Once finished, I mounted them all onto larger black construction paper.
This took about two classes to complete and the kids enjoyed it!
