DESIGN FINAL PROJECT

MR. PURCELL 6/11
DESIGN FINAL PROJECT


FINAL PROJECTS WILL BE PRESENTED DURING THE EXAM BLOCK.

WRITE A 2 PAGE DOUBLE SPACED PAPER ON FRANK LLYOD WRIGHT. THIS PAPER SHOULD FOCUS ON HIS BACKGROUND AND TRAINING IN ART/ARCHICTECTURE. WHAT WERE HIS INFLUENCES? WHAT INSPIRED HIM? WHAT ARE HIS PHILOSOPHIES ABOUT ARCHITECTURE? WHAT MAKES FLW STAND OUT FROM OTHER ARCHITECTS? WHAT DID HE DO DIFFERENTLY? WHAT KIND OF PERSONALITY WAS HE? WERE THERE SIGNIFICANT EVENTS IN HIS LIFE?
APPROACH THE PAPER WITH THESE QUESTIONS IN MIND. BE SURE TO SITE YOUR SOURCES, ONLINE OR BOOKS. ANY FORM OF PLAIGIRISM WILL RESULT IN A ZERO!

USING WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED ABOUT FLW’S WORK, SKETCH AN INTERIOR OF HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO REDESIGN OUR ART SPACE AT FRONTIER IF YOU HAD AN UNLIMITED BUDGET. THE DESIGN MUST CLEARLY INCORPORATE FLW’S ARCHITECTURE PHILOSOPHY IN AS MANY WAYS AS YOU CAN. THINK ABOUT THINGS YOU LIKE ABOUT THE SPACE AND HOW TO ENHANCE IT AS WELL AS THINGS YOU WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE ENTIRELY. THIS FULL COLOR IMAGE WILL BE 12 X 18 PAPER.


PRESENTATIONS DURING THE EXAM BLOCK WILL BE BRIEF BUT SHOULD PRESENT TO THE CLASS AS THOUGH NO ONE HAS ANY PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE ARTIST. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO READ THE PAPER BUT BE ABLE TO TALK ABOUT THE DECISIONS YOU MADE IN YOUR SKETCH AND HOW THEY RELATE TO FLW’S WORK.. YOU WILL LIKELY BE ASKED SOME BASIC QUESTIONS AS WELL SO MAKE SURE YOU KNOW YOUR TOPIC. THIS PROJECT COUNTS FOR 20% OF YOUR GRADE!
