Design to Dollars
Class Description
Arts+ and Do Greater Charlotte are partnering to teach 7th through 10th grade students how to design, make, and sell their own products! Do you dream of owning your own business, making amazing tote bags, or accessories? Then this free 12-week program is perfect for you! Over the course of this afterschool program, middle school students will learn to develop and physically create their own products to sell. Students will begin the program by being introduced to industry standard programs such as Procreate for the iPad to design images and logos. Local artists will show students how to create quality designs and then translate an image into products such as buttons, keychains, stickers, and tote bags. After designing and finalizing a product, participants will learn how to price products and make sales. The program will culminate with a pop-up market where family, friends and the community can purchase the students’ designs and handmade items! Class begins at 4:00 PM but early drop off begins at the location starting at 3:00 PM. Pickup is available through Do Greater at: Ashley Park, Charlotte Lab, Thomasboro, Renaissance West Steam Academy, Harding, Phillip O. Berry, and West Charlotte.
