Art & Architecture Around the World

For ages 8-12 years entering grades 3-6 in the FallTeacher: Chris Wilson (Session 1), Noelani Morris (Session 2)
Our class is designed to study Art and Architecture from Around the World.  We have many enriching activities, projects and experiences planned for our “Studio” full of creative building materials.  This year we will explore the art, architecture, and cultures of China and Brazil.  This class celebrates some of the most amazing architecture and art of the world.  By studying and recreating some of these art styles and structures, students will gain an appreciation of history and other cultures.

Areas we will cover include: 
  • China - Ancient and modern architecture, The Great Wall, The Forbidden City, Terra Cotta Soldiers, paper making, Chinese brush painting, temples
  • Brazil –  Rio de Janeiro, the Amazon Rainforest, Carnival, Samba, architect Oscar Niemeyer  and artist Beatriz Milhazes
Our final week we will finish projects from both countries and have a museum to share what we have learned. We will paint, build, read, plan, explore, collaborate, discover and create throughout the four weeks of the Summer Program.
