A good building makes the landscape more beautiful than it was before. - Frank Lloyd Wright We are so excited to kick off the Art Literacy program this year with our first artist, Frank Lloyd Wright, an American architect who believed that buildings should be beautiful. Training is scheduled for Thursday, October 2nd at 1 p.m. in the Art Literacy portable #4. See you there!
Objectives Students will learn how Frank Lloyd Wright's nature-inspired architectural designs created the stimulus for modern, American architecture. Students will demonstrate how a larger form is made up of smaller forms and how Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural forms were inspired by forms found in nature. Students discuss when it is appropriate to consider the architectural form of a building a work of art. Students create an architectural form which includes a cantilever and incorporate this form into a simulated natural landscape. Vocabulary Architecture: the art and science of designing buildings and their surroundings. The artist who designs and supervises the construction of buildings is known as an architect. Form: the 3-dimensional aspects of an object that take up space. A form can be measured in length, width and height. It describes volume and mass. This this lesson will focus on architectural forms or buildings, which contain enclosed spaces. Forms can (and should) be viewed from many angles. It takes the element of time to view a form. Shape: an area enclosed by a line. Shape has two dimensions - height and width. A shape does not have volume or take up space like a form does. Cantilever: A cantilever is a projecting structure, such as a beam, supported only at one end. |
