Activities for November 2020

November is here! During this month we are going to integrate Patterns and Color Theory in our artwork. We are going to celebrate Native American Heritage Month and Thanksgiving by creating Pumpkin Patches inspired by Yayoy Kusama. We are also going to work on leaves, trees and turkeys.

Thanksgiving Day 2020

Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated in Canada and the United States. It was originally celebrated as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year. Thanksgiving is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday of November in the United States. Several other places around the world observe similar celebrations. Although Thanksgiving has historical roots in religious and cultural traditions, it has long been celebrated in a secular manner as well.

Lesson 1-4 / Dates

October 3 – October 22

Essential Question

How do you use STEAM in Architecture?

Introduction
Hurricane Dorian was one of the most powerful in recorded history, causing billions of dollars in damage and resulting in hundreds of fatalities. This served as a reminder that hurricane preparedness is essential when living in Florida.
A STEAM project will be used as a tool in disaster preparedness by graphically representing the force of hurricane winds on a house or other structure.
