DAILY PLAN:

TOPIC:

CONTRASTS

FIND THE CONTRASTS IN THE CITY AND MAKE 2 PICTURES OF THAT:

1. HOW IT LOOKS NOW

2. HOW IT LOOKS WHEN WE CHANGE THE CONTRAST:

FOR EXAMPLE:  OLD BULIDING VS NEW BUILDING, TRANSFORM THE FORM OF THE NEW ONE TO THE OLD ONE AND THE OLD ONE TO THE NEW ONE. USE THE SIGHNS OF EXISTING ARCHITECTURE BUT DEVELOP THEM… MAKE THE DIFERENCE: 100YEARS LATER, 200 YEARS LATER, 500 YEARS LATER

ALSO STUDENTS CAN IMAGINE THE IMAGINARY LEADER OF RHODES WHO WANTS TO CREATE SOMETHING  HUGE, MONUMENTAL AND FOLLOW THIS IDEA

TECHNIQUE:

INK, CHARCOLAR

TOOLS:

INKS, CHARCOLAR, BRUSH, YOUR IMAGINATION

MARKS:

MAKE NOTES ABOUT SPACES, DETAILS, ARGUMENTS, SIGHNS
