Virtual
Ages 12-16
Join MODA for a virtual studio in which students will design a nature-inspired poster that highlights an ecosystem, an animal species, or an environmental message.
In this virtual studio, young designers will explore how imagery, color, typography, and composition can be used to strengthen a message about the natural world. Students will choose a focus such as a rainforest, coral reef, pollinator garden, endangered species, or climate related idea. They will sketch a layout, select a color palette, and use Canva to create a polished poster that informs, inspires, or encourages action. At the end of the studio, students can share their posters and receive feedback in a supportive environment.
In this Afterschool Studio, we’ll:
Study how designers communicate environmental ideas through visual choices
Explore ecosystems and species to develop design concepts
Use Canva to create a poster that highlights nature or environmental action
Practice layout, typography, and image selection to shape a clear message
Provide a space to share and provide constructive feedback
Practice collaboration, inclusivity, creative courage, imaginative problem-solving, storytelling, and critical thinking
