DESIGN ELEMENTS

Research the historical context of Wright’s designs before creating a timeline.

Learn about the “total work of art” design philosophy and compare it to Wright’s concept of “organic architecture”. Design an interior room as one cohesive work of art.

Interpret the Robie House living room as a graphic score. Compose music inspired by architectural images.

Create a class quilt inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and his love of the earth. This lesson teaches students about how fruits and vegetables grow and examines how community gardens can help address childhood hunger.

Students model the shapes of Wright’s iconic designs through movement.
