Dream House/Shape House

Last week, kindergarten artists are learned what an architect does and how to think out of the box and draw a house that does not look like a square with a triangle on top. I showed pictures of three famous architects: Frank Lloyd Wright, Daniel Libeskind, and Zaha Hadid. After looking at famous architecture from the various architects, I showed a few pages from the book, Arches to Zigzags, an Architecture ABC, by Michael J. Crosbie, so the children would have more ideas of things they could add to their house. One requirement for the project was to include the following shapes: square, rectangle,  diamond, oval, circle, triangle and semi-circle. After the drawings are complete, children will color in their drawing.


Below are some of the architects famous works and pictures of the kindergarten architects masterpieces.
