The power of simple shapes - How can we build a city out of just rectangles?
1. What is layering? How does it tell us what is happening - creating sense of distance?
2. How important is having different colors and sizes of rectangles/shapes?
3. What kinds of details have you seen on buildings around your home? Do you remember any details from your building? How is your building recognizable, compared to others around it?
Tasks for the Day:
1. Start by laying out different large rectangles - skinny and wide, short and tall, darker grey or lighter - once you know how you want them to sit on your page GLUE THEM DOWN
2. Once your building shapes are all glued into place, start to try out the smaller colorful squares and rectangles, imagining different kinds of building details. Once you know what you want a building to look like - GLUE THE DETAILS DOWN
3. By the end of class, there should be no white of the original paper showing, because your city is so full and rich and detailed.
