Posted By: Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum On: 9/19/2008 1:01:55 PM Check out October's issue of SchoolArts magazine -- this month's theme is "Design Matters." The issue features articles by prominent design educators, interviews with designers, and design-based lesson ideas. Also included is a pull-out poster highlighting the Cooper-Hewitt mansion, as well as tear out gallery cards with information on objects from our collection. Go to https://www.davis-art.com/Portal/SchoolArts/SADefault.aspx for more information.
Posted By: Kathy Scoggin On: 9/19/2008 5:24:38 PM Thank you for the heads-up on this resource! I found several activities from the Scholastic Magazine 2006 Design poster and activity series that I see great potential in using - probably even next week.
Posted By: James Iliff On: 9/20/2008 9:05:42 AM I recently got my hands on a copy of I.D. Magazine. It was full of really creative project ideas that one could build units around. It may be a bit expensive though.
Posted By: Nancy Eason On: 4/30/2009 11:20:26 AM Thank you for the resources. We don't subscribe to either magazine suggested above, but I found out from the librarian that teachers can make requests to our school division, and they will be purchased.
