The Art & Architecture Project 's emphasis is on the classical elements of architecture showcased in the project's Virtual History section and how they are represented in the buildings of your school's hometown. Virtual tours can be done in web page format, as a slide show, or through the use of digital video. They can include examples of student art work which reflect awareness and understanding of the architectural elements evident in each community.

Project objectives:

to integrate arts across the curriculum through a study of architecture

to make use of technology in creating bridges across cultures

to promote the Language Arts through the processes of reading, writing and researching

to promote Mathematics through the study of Geometry and its concepts of shape, line and symmetry

to promote the Sciences through the study of physics, engineering, machines, and climate

to promote the Social Studies through the study of history, geography and cultures

Suggested Timeline:

(This is a three month proposed timeline - you can pace yourself as you please!)

Two Weeks - study the Art & Architecture web site

One Week - agree on class criteria for judging local architecture

One month - research and photograph architecture in your home town

Two Weeks - organize and evaluate architecture in your home town

Three Weeks - create virtual tour based on your research

Final Task - Post virtual tour online and email Walter so that it can be added to the project site!

Final Product :

The final product is a multimedia presentation of architecture in each community which is to be presented in web page, slide show or video format. Theapplication used to develop your virtual tour must be able to be viewed online (with the use of a plugin if necessary); project presentations should not require the purchase of software to be
viewed online.

Each virtual tour will be posted in the Art & Architecture prohject web site as part of a digital archive of architecture from around the world, across history and culture. Once a virtual tour is posted on the project web site it will remain there at the discretion of the project sponsor. Participating classes will be asked to create a reciprocal link from their school web site to the project web site. A project icon will be supplied with directions on how to make this link. Your local webmaster will be able to easily assist you in this process.
