utilized if it is combined with another type of
technique.)
List the techniques you used on the back of your
poster.
Have fun and be creative!

This is an independent project, not a group project
All ideas should be school appropriate.
You may come up with your own idea, or use one of
the ones listed.
Use mostly visuals, though some text should be
included
If you don’t like to draw, you may print clip art or
other images and paste to your poster.
The poster is a standard-size (9 x 12) white
construction paper.
Do not use pencil. Ink, crayons, or colored pencils
are fine.
