    Very timely,   Julie Schaul . I particularly love the aesthetic on this poster coincident with the 26th amendment.  

    Beautify the Vote poster

    I like that poster too  Wendy Stephens  .  I actually spent some time animating it.  The design is so lovely and the meaning so important!

    Here is a link to Cheryl's animated poster: https://tpsteachersnetwork.org/tps-commons/vote-poster. 

    Super cool,   Cheryl Davis  -- I hope to master a fraction of your digital art skills, someday!

      Wendy Stephens  &   Julie Schaul  - you both are so kind.  I’m hardly skilled and just a one tool user, very unlike the really advanced tool users with way more techniques. And gosh with AI, I’m not sure where animation will go.  I guess the way of the film camera. :).

    I find when students work closely with a primary source by adding their own artistic expression they understand not only the design but the intended meaning of that primary source much more.
