Students in our classrooms are familiar with architecture, even if they are not consciously aware of the structures around them.
Children experience the built environment of architectural forms as part of everyday experience.
Because architecture is so available, it offers the teacher an effective subject to help students develop visual literacy and aesthetic sensitivity to their surroundings. We invite you to investigate the suggested resources and the architecture of the art museums included in this issue and involve your students in exploring architecture. A valuable resource for teachers, Winter's book is organized into the basic and most important concepts used by great architects. Fifty lessons progress from levels one to seven as the concepts become intertwined. The book, filled with the author's black and white illustrations, gives clear insight into the possibilities of teaching architectural concepts in the public school curriculum.
