Lesson/Project Description
In this lesson, the students went on a field trip to a local printshop that sells CSU Merchandise as well as custom merchandise. The students were able to observe the process of a type of shirt printing called "Digital Transfer Printing." This allowed them to see where clothes come from, how they get their designs, and how clothes can be art.
Essential Understandings
Process, Creation, Technology
Skills
Observation, Reflection, Processing
Art Focus
Exploring how clothing can be art
Literary Focus
New Vocab: Graphic T-Shirt, Heat-Press, Style, Digital Transfer, Printshop,
Literacy will be integrated with: discussion about t-shirt print shop & clothing expression, written discovery for the discovery board.

During the field trip, Joel explained the process step by step as the shop owner made an item right in front of us. Students asked great questions, such as: "how does it stick to the shirt?" and "can you make hats?"
During the field trip, the students were able to observe the entire process of a CSU football jersey being custom printed. This includes the steps of; laying out design elements in a computer design program, transferring the images to heat press paper material through the laser cutter, the cutting process after printing, weeding excess material away from the designs, and finally laying each design element out on the jersey and heat pressing it. The students were also able to observe the embroidery machine and ask questions about how each piece of the machine works. Later, Joel and the shop owner provided examples of what the embroidery machine can do, which students would pass around the room. The photo to the right shows students itently watching the printer as it created the images that were going to be heat pressed onto a custom jersey. They were very interested in this process and loved watching the ink come out layer by layer.
Below, Joel is explaining the process of applying the print-outs onto the jersey. The students were very interested in the entire process and asked fun questions throughout.
