Grades 1-4 | 8 weeks | Thursdays | 3:30-4:30
January 22, 29; February 5, 12, 19, 26; March 5, 12; (Make-up day - March 19)
Students will design and build village! Through books and images, students will explore different types of landscapes and housing styles from around the world. They’ll then choose a setting and building type that appeals to the majority of the group and proceed to apply that style to create a village. Students will experience how the brain transforms 2D imagery into 3D mental models, and then into real 3D constructions. Along with the creative activities of making aesthetic choices and solving spatial problems there will also be intuitive and real mathematical calculations working with proportion and making all the elements of the village fit. Each student will have ‘ownership’ in the finished village for what they’ve accomplished both individually and as a group. Not only will their artistic skills be developed but also, through their choices, they’ll learn the value of collaboration and how to see everything from the “big picture” to the smallest detail.
Additionally, you can help other students participate through sponsorship!
