Inspiration Illustration_CTE competition

Hillwood's academic theme for 2015-2016 is "Be Inspirational".

The theme became the first Photoshop assignment and CTE competition for students in Steve Campbell's Digital Arts and Design1 classes. For many students, 9th and 10th graders, this is the first time they have used Photoshop.

The assignment was for students to illustrate the meaning of the word "inspirational" using text and images only.

Cherish Beltzer won the competition with this design
