Description
On a grand scale, cities and buildings are planned with a particular society’s attitudes and concerns in mind, demonstrated through the use of materials, as well as how the space is designed and navigated. It also shows if, and how, we acknowledge, protect, and support our communities’ more vulnerable citizens.On a private scale, our personal spaces can reflect our values, represent our history, or show what we are (or aren’t) able to prioritize.
In this issue, students will look at and collectively design a ‘city’ that addresses a particular challenge/issue. They then look internally to design and build a room that reflects the story of themselves that they wish to share.
Each issue includes:
- 4 segments, designed to support learning around questions pertinent to our time.
- Contents which include:
- connections directly linked to ELA, Social Studies, or History.
- artwork and artist examples
- an art prompt or challenge
- connections directly linked to ELA, Social Studies, or History.
- Flexible delivery options, including ideas for teaching in-person and remotely
- Flexible material options

- Spanish translations of student handouts
- A separate file linking to artworks on museum and gallery sites
- Links to optional supplemental videos where applicable
- Printable rubrics and assessments
