This project involves synthesizing the human figure into an architectural design structure. Select an architectural structure from the list below and begin to think about how you can incorporate the human figure in recreating the structure

Architectural Structures to choose from:

 Arc de Triomphe 

Mount Rushmore 

The Eiffel Tower 

Guggenheim Museum of Art 

Leaning Tower of Pisa 

The Louvre 

The White House

STEP ONE: Begin researching architectural structures and think about how you can recreate and redesign them using only the human form. Select one structure and answer the following questions on the Artistic Statement Template: 

1. Who designed the structure? 

2. What is the form and function of the building?

 3. What materials and technology was used in its creation? 

4. What is the context in which the work was created? (e.g., historical, social, political, economic) 

 STEP TWO: DRAW: In your sketchbook draw 3 different conceptual sketches of your structure using different human forms – decide how you will break up your chosen image. We will together choose one to work on with details

• Consider the elements and principles of design. (Shape, Proportion, Unity etc….)

 • Your work must show clear evidence of a researched source(s). 

 • CONSIDER: perspective, foreground/background relation of forms and shapes. Think dynamic perspective! Have your sketches approved by the teacher before starting your final one. 

WRITE your Artistic Statement Template to document your artistic process. 

STEP THREE: REFLECT: Answer the following questions using the elements and principles of design and hand them in with your completed drawing(s) for evaluation. 

1. What part of your finished project did you find most successful and why? 

2. What part of your finished project did you find least successful and why?

 3. If you had to do this project, what part would you change or improve on and why?
