LESSON RATIONALE:
Architecture is everywhere in the student’s environment.
Sometimes it is noticed, but many times it is just passed by. This lesson
will make students aware of the architecture, designing, planning, and building
of houses. Students will examine the people, materials, and thought that go
into creating a house. Students will discuss the many different textures that
go into a building a house like course brick, bumpy stones, smooth siding,
and wood texture. The learners will also think about size, shape, and color
as well as different surroundings like desert, tropical or mountainous environments.
This lesson is one of the key lessons in connecting the idea of community
and different things in their surrounding. It will also introduce them to
a more architectural perspective as well as other professions needed to build
a home. It is important for students to be aware of the options in art related
fields as well as things they encounter everyday in their surrounding and
in their community.

general vocabulary of building materials and people involved in creating/designing/building
