3/25/19- We started the class by learning about the Elements and Principles of Design. The students then looked through architecture books to find buildings that used the different Elements and Principles of Design.
The students identified buildings that used pattern, symmetry, rhythm, and balance.
4/2/19- The students are continuing to learn about different Exterior Architectural Features. We learned about different roof types, windows and other exterior features. The students are identifying features they may want to include in their own building. They should be thinking about their final project and discussing any materials they may need to complete the project.
4/19/19- Before the students start designing their own building, we are doing some research on famous architects. Each student chose an architect to research. They are researching influences on the architect and what design elements the architect used.
5/6/19- The students have finished the plan for their structure. They need at least 10 exterior features in their design. We are starting the building process this week. Your child may be gathering things at home to include in their design.
