Today in art we had a great lesson about architecture. Kids learned about what architects do, and then got to be architects themselves! BZ put them into groups because architects often have to work with other people. Then she gave them the challenge of creating a building using every block on their table. There were A LOT of blocks on every table, of all shapes and sizes. The kids had to work with the others in their group to figure out how to make strong bases for their buildings and how to incorporate every block.
After their buildings were complete, they got a chance to draw what they built. BZ taught the kids the trick of how to draw a cube.
After they finished their drawings, kids who wanted to got a chance to use a digital camera to take a picture of what they built.
All in all it was an awesome lesson where the kids used many skills! Thanks BZ!
