Lenticular Print


This is a lenticular print I created for my Curriculum class. It was an interpretative assignment where I was responsible for the final design of the project. The criteria for the assignment was to reflect on a personal experience and curricular issue that was important to me. On the back of the print was my rational and this is what it said: Some of the motivation I called upon during my process of becoming a teacher was to recall my experience as a student. I was a student that was often over-looked for help because I appeared to have understood. A student who suffered in silence because of pride and a lack of self-confidence, was also the same student who immediately behaved when guided to some success. During my practicum I made a conscious decision to seek out these silent students. First hand, I saw how a little success created a different student. It was fun watching those self-deprecating individuals become empowered bright lights in the classroom. Even when students gain minimal success, I will continue to use this strategy during my career because I remember what I needed as a student.

Chris, I love this. I'm just wondering how/where you got the lenticular print done? I'm looking to use this technique for a self-promotional piece but I'm having trouble finding a place that will do small quantities. Please help.
