Floor plan rubric

Create a blueprint of your dream house. You must include 10 rooms and furnish your rooms. Measure the length and width of each room, and find the area of each (length x width). Rough draft of your blueprint is due 5/9. After your draft is approved, you may transfer it to a poster board for your final project (due 5/12).

Design a blueprint of a bathroom, and/or kitchen.

Each student will the project by drawing a bold and page-filling design of their name. Each name will be then divided into 16 squares, and cut apart. The name instantly became 16 tiny abstract designs featuring positive and negative space. Students will then work to reorganize their name to create an abstract composition focusing on positive and negative.

Students will create a scale model of a residential or commercial/ industrial building using parts from a kit. They will be graded on each phase of construction: structural design, floor plan, landscape including and interior and exterior finishings.

The student will create a short clip using Stop Motion techniques. That movie will be eligible to participate in the Stop Motion Awards 3 ceremony where some judges will choose the best videos. Stop motion (also known as stop frame) is an animation technique to make a physically manipulated object appear to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a continuous sequence. Dolls with movable joints or clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of repositioning. Stop motion animation using plasticine is called clay animation or "clay mation" and there are some other techniques.
