Poster submissions will be displayed in an online gallery as part of the Connect*ED exhibition. Selected posters will be printed and included in the gallery exhibition on May 9, 2014 at the Chicago Art Department.
Suggested Theme and Guidelines
Learning Is A Lifestyle is a poster series that hopes to expand the way we think about learning. Learning does not just happen in school but it is intertwined with life. It is connected to who we are, the way we live, and what is happening in the world. Learning is not institutional. Learning is cultural. Learning Is A Lifestyle asks us to think about learning as expression, attitude, and style as well as knowledge and growth.
What does Learning Is A Lifestyle mean to you? How do you interpret it?
