Class Experience

In this career exploration class, I will introduce students to a broad overview of what graphic design is, what designers do, who they work for, and what skills are needed to succeed.  We'll discuss how sketching helps designers mock-up their work, but being an excellent artist is NOT required! 

The class will be presented as a combination of discussion, presentation and engagement.  We will complete a fun sketching activity / design activity during class so please have a pencil and paper available.

Learning Goals

Learning Objectives:
• To broaden the student's understanding of a career in graphic design 
• How to find your niche!  We will identify different specialties within the field of graphic design, discuss what working in those fields looks like, and identify types of employers looking for those skills
• Skills to pay the bills!  Will will discuss skills students may already possess that contribute to employability and identify education opportunities to bridge any skill gaps they may have

Other Details

Supply List
Please have a pencil and paper available to complete a sketching activity.
Students are expected to stay on camera during the class to engage with the teacher and share their work.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

Profile
Teacher expertise and credentials
Welcome!  My name is Sharon Harry and I am a believer that life-long learning enables you to make anything possible! 

I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Child Development from Florida State University and was very involved in K-12 service learning and volunteerism in college.  Having always loved drawing, writing, and problem-solving, I started to dabble in graphic design and later found my calling in marketing. Today, I am a successful marketing and business strategy consultant as well as an Outschool Teacher.  I get to do all the things I enjoy most and make a living from it as well!  

After becoming a mom, I started to work with children as a coach, mentor, and GirlScout leader. I soon realized that I loved teaching more than anything else I had ever done!  I believe all learning should be as hands-on as possible, so I always try to engage my students with fun activities throughout my courses.    

Fun Facts:  I have two wonderful daughters who I love to pieces and who challenge me to learn something new every day.   In addition to being a mom, I love to travel, hike, kayak, read, write, draw, and paint.
