4th Grade Middle Eastern Architecture Drawings

Fourth grade students examined Middle Eastern architecture to create their own version of buildings.  They looked at many examples of this style of architecture and identified common characteristics.  To add a little more interest, they added "fireworks" to the sky.







I can't take credit for this project idea.  I THOUGHT I had "pinned" this idea on Pinterest, but when I went back to find the link, it wasn't there.  I really need to do a better job of remembering where I've found these awesome projects, so I can give credit where credit is due!!

6th Grade Victorian Houses

Sixth grade students studied the Victorian style of architecture to create these beautiful Victorian Houses.  The students looked at several pictures of the Victorian style to identify common characteristics.  Although not every drawing posted is true to the Victorian style, I believe the students should be able to put their own spin in their drawings.
