ACT might no longer exist, but the legacy of creativity continues through the work of our former students. Mad props to Tyler Oslie for this piece of his that Adobe used to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King with today. So proud of our former students and their continued creative spirit! #aestheticrevolutionaries https://www.instagram.com/p/CngKCHBrhHN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Here are a few of the early submissions - “All you need to do is pick up the pen and begin.” “May I take your baggage?” “I often see 11:11 or 12:34 on clocks.” “Rock music approaches at high velocity.” ...enjoy...stay safe...stay creative... #distancelearning #californiapartnershipacademy #cpa #cte #careertechnicaleducation #careerteched #theprojacts #projectact #act #handsonlearning #learnbydoing #pbl #projectbasedlearning #problemsolving #troubleshooting #thinkoutsideofthebox #thinkoutsideofyourself #create #becreative #staycreative #graphicdesign #graphics #illustration #digitalart #futureartists https://www.instagram.com/p/B_Slboqpsy_/?igshid=1f9y6muntdjmw

Break out your crayons!!!! It's coloring time!!! I thought it might be fun to scroll through the old IG feed and convert some classic ACT pics into coloring pages. So, why not start with @bigbillb as a luchador wearing a Donald Duck cap, right? I will create downloadable options on www.projectact.net later today. Any requests? https://www.instagram.com/p/B-0Yn1Yp5qR/?igshid=1tooda95bjmt3

@trylanjames suggested I post the new ram head, as well. Here are the two new logos side by side with the past logos below to get some perspective. A lot of us had a hard time with the “ram” part of the letter mark. Does the new Ram head help at all? Rebranding is a difficult task, for sure. Have any of you had experience with rebranding? . . By the way, I have totally enjoyed the discussion on this. We should do this more often... https://www.instagram.com/p/B-H92Brpmow/?igshid=xkr94sa7o0uf

To all CURRENT ACT students. I am not entirely sure what the rest of this year is going to look like. As it is, I will not be seeing your lovely faces until April 30, at least.

Check your Google Classroom and let’s see where this goes. The sun is out! Enjoy your Friday! https://www.instagram.com/p/B99Z0DnJ7U2/?igshid=e1x7l93pphn

It is bittersweet to state the following, but I have accepted an amazing opportunity to teach graphic design at Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington beginning this fall! It is hard to believe that nearly 21 years ago I walked onto Canyon Springs High School with absolutely no clue as to what to teach or how to teach it… some say, I still don’t! I have so many of you to thank for the tremendous impact that you have had on my life, whether as alumni, colleagues, friends, parents or students. I have learned from so many of you and have been inspired as well - by your passion, your drive, and the genuine heart so many of you possess and have shared with me! So, thanks again for being a part of my life while in ACT and as always, STAY CREATIVE! - ben necochea ps. As for the ACT, the current plan is for it to continue moving forward and the District is already putting things in place in order to find my replacement. If interested in more details feel free to email me or send a DM. https://www.instagram.com/p/B9NMGkRp2Wn/?igshid=c657161ay75l
