Think and Get Inspired
Decide whether your building will be a public building or a house. Feel free to research different postmodern architects to get some ideas! Here are some of my favorites (click on underlined names):
Frank Gehry, Winy Maas (MVRDV), and Michael Graves. Here is a link to some more postmodern architecture.
Step 2:
Choose your Materials
For this art piece, you will need to use two or more art materials to show different textures (Examples of texture: brick, glass, wood, concrete, etc.)
Step 3:
Sketch Final Drawing
On a white piece of paper, use a ruler to draw out the lines of your building in pencil. Your building should include the three Postmodern features:
simple, strong, geometric shapes
bright, intense colors
extravagant color and exaggerated detail
Hint: Start with the large shapes of your building THEN begin drawing details such as doors, windows, brick, stone, tile, etc.
Step 4:
Outline in Black
Once you have your building drawn in pencil, use a black pen or a thin, black marker to outline your building (use a ruler when drawing straight edges).
Step 5:
Color
Remember that postmodern buildings are typically colorful! Use different mediums to color in your building. This can be colored pencil, crayon, marker, watercolor, pastels, etc. Base your choices off of what texture you want for each material your building is made of (stones, brick, tile, wood, steel, etc.)
Step 6:
Written Reflection
Choose one of the two written reflection assignments to complete:
Complete the two page process worksheet
~ OR ~
Write a one paragraph explanation (5-6 sentences) about what you have learned about Postmodern Architecture, and how your drawing follows Postmodern features.
