Tonally shade architecture

Art and design

Investigate an architect

Draw buildings using simple perspective

Develop a collaborative group design

Make an architectural 3D model

Present a group design proposal

In this unit, pupils investigate an architect and learn to draw buildings in an architectural style. They may work in groups to respond to an architectural design challenge and design and make a solution in two and three dimensions, before making a group presentation.
