Programs
Our programs cover mathematics, science, art, languages,
and social studies. archKIDecture combines interpretive discussions and slide
shows with hands-on art activities
to teach children about architecture and its relationship to
history, culture, literature, science and math.
We help kids to develop creative
skills and observations of the built environment. They create artworks that
require them to think creatively and apply knowledge,
through slide shows and hands-on craft projects.
THE SKOKIE MAP PROJECT
at Skokie Public Library,
Skokie Illinois
We
contacted the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission (NIPC) and they produced
a satellite map focused on a main intersection in the town of Skokie Illinios.
We made a transparency of the photo and projected it onto a large piece of
canvas, drawing the outlines of the buildings and streets from a birds-eye-view.
When
the kids arrived, we placed the fabric on the floor at the Library and let
the kids collage on it with fabric swatches and draw on it with markers and
crayon.
The result was a wonderful wall hanging for theLibrary to display.
Build It! is full of interactivity and fun for kids of all ages.
