|
III.
|
Students will draw a simple yet detailed floor plan of a physical space or structure (bedroom, classroom, playground) which they remember well. As areas are labeled, students should try to remember as much as they can about people and events which they associate with the space.
|
|
|
|
Students will choose and write about one of the memories.
|
|
|
|
We will have done preliminary work on floor plans: examining reproductions in architecture and drafting books, studying beaux-art and poché renderings.
