Welcome to the ArKIDecture Academy! I am very excited to announce a new series coming to my class list: 'Houses in History' The first in this series is none other than..... Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water! In this one time class, we will discuss the architect Frank Lloyd Wright, his theories and design techniques, and, of course, the house and property known as 'Falling Water'. Discussion and Discovery As a class we will discuss facts and information about both the architect and the house. Construction Each student will build their own version of the house using recycled materials. I will encourage class interaction, sharing of ideas, and open question/dialogue throughout class. I love to incorporate fun and laughter into my classes while maintaining clear goals and expectations. Each student will finish class with newfound knowledge of Modern Architecture, their own unique blueprints, and a constructed model of the house. This class may move quicker or slower than anticipated based on the needs of the individual students. Questions, conversations, and sharing are handled gently and respectfully by the teacher.
Learning Goals
Students will learn about Frank Lloyd Wright, his work and the house, Falling Water. They will learn the basic architectural elements that are used to design both the interior and exterior of a house. They will also learn about upcycling materials and how to use things that can be found in their homes to create amazing designs.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Students will be using glue, scissors, markers, and other crafting tools in this camp. Parental guidance is suggested for safety of the student.
