Hey parents and teachers! Looking for a learning activity tied to real life that involves art, geometry, math and science? I can share some of my planned architectural work. You can use it to help small children identify shapes. Older kids can use geometry and proportion...1/
...to decide which forms are eye-pleasing via the “Golden Rule” or “Rule of Thirds.”
You can even show progression from line drawings and sketches to renderings to built items.
Or how about this transforming into THIS. And yes, this is the plan for the same building.
Wanna see how the geometry breaks down? Here are the basic shapes of the before and after (from all four sides).
Notice that the windows and doors are the same size, but it’s how we change the shapes around them that takes it from eyesore to something else.
More shapes and planes to play with.
How does a change in material, applied to the same building, affect how you feel about the way it looks? Is it bolder, warmer, cleaner? Which do you like best?
No, seriously, which one appeals to you more?
