Dream House Project





High school art students researched architectural styles and designed their "dream house" incorporating a variety of elements and materials. The students used mat board, craft sticks, foam, internet images, and tempera paint to create the projects and were forced to do a great deal of problem solving. This is the first attempt at this project and I was very pleased with the initial results. View other examples at:http://picasaweb.google.com/laruggles/NewAlbum51707220PM
