Check out a preview of this Canva movie poster project here: Canva Movie Poster Project Preview Pack
This movie poster redesign project tasks middle or high school art students with designing a film poster for an already existing movie using Canva.

This lesson plan pack is extremely comprehensive. Even if you have zero experience with Canva, you can learn along with the students with the resources included.
Canva is a free, subscription-free online program that can be used on a standard computer, laptop, Chromebook, or iPad. This is a very easy way to incorporate design into any art room.
