The purpose of this course is to encourage children’s power and pleasure to imagine, especially those children who have just enter the school gate. We belive that such experiences can create habits for the future and, what can be more wonderful than the power of imagination? The story is the motivation of spatial generation, based on which the didactic approach is structured. The course includes two chapters of 17 lessons each: the first chapter that runs during the first semester (before the February holiday) is called “Grifonel and Seminţica” and the second is called “Cities, Castles, Fortresses “.
As with the 3rd and 4th grade courses, the architect-teacher tandem is welcome. However, the guide for this course is designed so that it can also be taught only by the teacher. Each lesson has an appendix of teaching materials from which you can start in educational adventures.
We hope that this course, together with all the other activities of De-a arhitectura, will bring us even closer to our goal of encouraging children to do their own special children’s work: Imagine. We dare hope so in a future generation of adults initiated into the power and pleasure of imagining.
Parents will not lose any of this, since all children will want to present their works at home almost weekly.
