VIII. Of Sound An example of a piece of music and an architecture demonstrates that music has its materiality in instruments and sound while architecture has its materiality in light and space. For instance in previous example the water is the overlapping refraction of...

I want to share a story with our visitors: Friedrich Froebal was a German education theorist who laid the foundation for modern education based on the recognition that children have unique needs and capabilities. He developed the concept of the “kindergarten”. Fröbel advocated the importance of free play in childhood. And created learning materials that was designed to be given to a child to provide material for the child's self-directed activity. At the 1876 Centinnial Exhibition in Philadelphia Anna Lloyd Wright was attending the event and became fascinated with a demonstration of children playing with the Froebel materials, especially the blocks. Ms. Wright watched as the children created geometric forms and designs from small wooden blocks and thought that these blocks would be perfect for her son Frank. Later in life Frank Lloyd Wright became one of America's most celebrated architects. And throughout his career Wright always credited the Froebel blocks as the greatest influence in forming his sense of design. In his autobiography he cited the blocks indirectly in explaining that he learned the geometry of architecture in kindergarten play,[1] writing "For several years I sat at the little Kindergarten table-top . . . and played . . . with the cube, the sphere and the triangle—these smooth wooden maple blocks . . . All are in my fingers to this day . . ." I wanted to share this story as a nod to our architecture theme, the value of play, the possibility of greatness, and as a tribute to our most valued possession, our block set.-Mr. Nick

Norwegian architecture has received a lot of international attention in recent years. This is the first publication that presents a selection of the best of these projects in one book, demonstrating Norwegian architects' responses to a variety of different situations, both natural and urban. The natural landscape is a strong influence in many of these building projects, and elegant and sensitive proposals drawing on a close relationship with nature has been one of the hallmarks of Norwegian architecture.

Thanks to the alignment of our calendar and curriculum map this year, we're celebrating DOT DAY at the end of our "Colors All Around" unit. We've learned about primary colors, secondary colors and shades, and have been identifying shapes and types of lines. Searching for a dimensional art project that would be a great summary to the unit AND a link to Peter H. Reynold's beloved book, I stumbled across this video from Cassie Stephens, a wonderful art teacher: ... and EUREKA! Give the pieces of paper FEET! Wanting to see, hear and read more, I discovered Cassie's blog here, and wouldn't you know it, she has lots of beautiful projects for Dot Day that she's shared! Inspired by her paper line sculptures, I decided to adapt Cassie's project to include ONLY the primary, secondary and shade colors that we've learned about and used in our unit. As it was the first time I was introducing sculpture and dimension into a class project, I decided to prep materials in advance, so that my students could spend most of their time experimenting with folding and gluing. I used 9 inch square white construction paper for the background, and about an 8 inch diameter black paper circle for our main "dot." A school die cut circle block created the medium size circles in red, yellow and blue, but I also added some smaller yellow circles (after an unfortunate yet not terribly surprising spill accident) created with a paper punch. The line pieces were our secondary colors, orange, green and purple, cut into 1 inch by 12 inch strips. After rereading The Dot, reviewing our colors and color vocabulary, I modeled how to first add our primary colored dots to the black one, making sure to remind my Stars to glide their glue near-ish (see what I did there, Peter H. Reynold's fans?) to the edge so that none of the dots would curl up and away from the background. Then the creation of "feet" began, and the Stars were ~entranced~ by the folding of their secondary colored lines. When they saw the first strip of paper raised above the dot yet still attached to it, they were HOOKED. The only other instruction I gave my students was to keep the primary and secondary colored pieces of their sculpture within/inside the black dot. They loved this activity, and I suspect that I'm going to see a lot more dimension and height in their crafty creations for the remainder of the year! ***** Psst! Today's the last day to get 20% off of all of my Teachers Pay Teachers ELA and Math resources!
