Fifth Grade - Imagine a Building

Fifth grade is  studying architecture.  We looked at several famous structures and picked out interesting architectural elements.  Onion Domes, Arches, Rose Windows, & Turrets are just a few of the parts we discussed.  Fifth grade then became the architect.  Using a few brainstorming pages to help, fifth grade designed a new building completely from imagination.  They gave it an urban, suburban, or rural background.  Finally, they used watercolor skills and new illustration techniques to add color.
