Art and Design Integration
Wandered into a class in time to see stome student work building 'Watts towers' as well as a fortress structure. Interesting to see students learning about a social phenomenon - the building of the towers in the first place - and then their resultant value as a point of community pride. Understanding and appreciating the value of art and design. Also interested to see their efforts to build their own Watts Towers.
Meanwhile some students built a pretty good fortress out of wooden blocks. I still love these hands on, tactile activities. Even in the age of Minecraft.
