Smith's "Tech Art" project will allow students to blend traditional art methods with technology. Students in fifth through 12th grades throughout the Lesterville School District will create multiple blended projects to share with other art students online. An example of a blended project could be for students to draw a one-point perspective picture, scan it, and apply digital techniques provided by software to enhance pictures. To blend the two art methods effectively, students will have to utilize math skills and problem-solving abilities. A blog will be created for students to share their projects and art opinions with Smith and other students. The blog will exercise communication skills and art knowledge. Smith lives in Bonne Terre.
