Places and Spaces Workshop: Building A Block Facade Collage

Inspired by the artist Romare Bearden’s collage, The Block, students will recreate an artistic street and cityscape facades collaging with construction paper to create their own building. The students’ buildings will then be assembled side by side to compose a street block.

Students will learn how fundamental design elements can be used to help define the look and feel of a neighborhood helping them to develop reasoning, creative, imaginative, and problem-solving skills.
