Doodle 4 Google

Have you heard of the Doodle 4 Google contest?  The contest is for K-12 students to redesign the Google logo.  Each school can submit up to six entries for this year’s theme “What I Wish for the World.”

How could you work this contest in to your curriculum and lessons?

• This may be a project the art teacher would like to take on and have the students create their designs based off their favorite artist.  Students would research the artist’s style and replicate the style in coordination with the “What I Wish for the World” theme.
• Computer teachers may want to have the kids create their design using a new computer software.  This will acquaint the students with the new software while they create their Google design.
• General Education teachers could discuss current events and how they are creating the society we know today.  Students could then design their Google logo as a follow up.
• Could be posed as a writing topic.  Students write a story revolving around the “What I Wish for the World” theme and create their design as a supplement to their writing.

The possibilities are endless . . . how would you work this project into a lesson?
