The neighborhood is a familiar place for students. It is an image of a safe haven and represents the shelter we all seek to have. Students were asked to focus on their own homes. They considered what makes a building function as a home and what makes a home aesthetically motivating. Students analyzed the architecture and the history of their neighborhoods. Looking at the assets of their neighborhood and their home, they created a small relief sculpture of their home out of cardboard, tape, and glue. Students worked with several layers of color to enhance the relief aspect of the buildings and enhanced the line elements with black markers.
