On Friday: As you walk or drive around town, point out different architectural styles to your child. "Are the windows on the bank building curved or arched? What shapes do you see? Do you think this building is new or old? How can you tell?" Bring him to an awareness of building design. Then ... Directions: Tape or glue the classified section of your newspaper to a piece of white poster board. Using a black marker, draw a horizontal line ¾ of the way down the page. Beginning at the horizon line and drawing up, your child can follow the newspaper’s vertical lines (columns) to draw buildings, stores, places of worship, etc. The area below the line is the street. Here he can draw cars, trucks, and bicycles. If more than one child is participating, arrange finished cityscapes, side by side, along one wall to form several city blocks. (Project is messy because of the newsprint – but wonderful!) |
