As part of Emma’s Easel art class, children learned the basics of graphic design and came up with their best impressions of what Rowan County's new logo should look like. Some of the features on the logos created during the art class included a horse, bird, bear and a shield that includes a cross and trees.  Check out the full article from Friday's Salisbury Post here and stay tuned for some of the students' designs, which will appear in the next edition of The Loop.  Way to go, Emma!

Emma's Easel was featured in this month's edition of The Loop. 
Unfortunately her lesson on graphic design was postponed
due to the snow, but she's looking forward to teaching the basics
of graphic design this Thursday and will hopefully get some great
ideas for a new Rowan County logo from her participants. 
Can't wait to see what they come up with.  Way to go, Emma!
