More Than Just the ABC’s
In order to understand that letters often communicate more than the words they spell, students will explore how to make letters inspired by different shapes. They will begin with a warm-up activity and then examine lettering in advertisements in Wes Wilson's poster Association, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco. A teacher-led discussion will help students decipher the literal and more abstract meanings of Wilson’s work.
