Project ARTiculate

Hundertwasser: Architect

Grade 6

Linda Pfisterer, Art Specialist

Students learn about Austrian artist and architect Friedrich Hundertwasser and look at the buildings he designed. Students design a part of a building - door, window or dome - in his style and add bright colors. The whimsical shapes and patterns should tell a bit about themselves.

Objectives and assessment criteria

Students will:

1. observe and discuss the art of Friedrich Hundertwasser, an Austrian painter, architect and ecologist.
2. Learn the importance of expressing themselves through dress, window and building design and the care of the world.
3. draw on their own expression of a window, door, dome or pillar for their home.
4. choose a complementary color scheme and add texture and pattern to their design.
