The objective of this lesson was to use geometric shapes to create windows in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright.
We looked at examples of windows that he designed, and we discussed the geometric quality of his design.
The students understood the importance of balance and symmetry for the creation of their windows.
Frank Lloyd Wright "Tree of Life" Window Robie House (1908-1910)
Frank Lloyd Wright (June 8, 1867- April 9, 1959) was not only one of the greatest American architects, but he was also a great designer of stained glass windows.
However the functional integration of the window into the architecture was more important that the ornamental qualities carried by the window.
Creating balance and symmetry.
Using water colors to complete the composition.
Working in creating a balanced composition.
Meravigliosi!
