Look for an example of a sculpture that you feel would amplify the message that your selected building communicates to onlookers.
Present your team’s explanation for how the building and the sculpture might work together to create a unified message to the class in a 6- to 8-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint®presentation. Include the following:
- When was the building created?
- Where is it located?
- What is the building’s original purpose?
- Who was the architect? What was his or her background and nationality?
- When was the sculpture created?
- Who was the sculptor? What was her or his background and nationality?
- Where was the sculpture originally located?
- For what purpose was the sculpture originally created?
- Why do you think the building and sculpture go together or complement each other?
- Compare the form and function of your selected building and sculpture with the form and function of crafts and decorative arts found within your home or another environment, such as a school, restaurant, or public building (2-slides). For example, for sculpture you might compare with one of the following:
- Table settings and decorations
