MS3D Frank Lloyd Wright style art rooms

Imagine you are an architect who is approached by a client, in this case Frontier Regional School, who has an unlimited budget to re-design the art space.  There are currently two rooms, one for ceramics/3D work and a second for general drawing/painting.  They are asking you to bulldoze the current space and re-create it from scratch.  It must be a safe and effective environment for students and be designed in the spirit of Frank Lloyd Wright.  The space should reflect FLW's ideology (look it up) in the organization and use of the elements of art.

Elements of art:
Line
Value
Shape
Form
Color
Texture
Space

Begin by using your chrome books to gather reference for ideas and examples of how FLW organized his structures.  Create sketches of what your art space will look like.  Consider the things that you like and you think work about the current rooms as well as things you would like to change.  Once your developed sketches are approved by Mr. Purcell you will begin your 3D representation of your ideas.  Each student will have two 18 x 24 sheets of foam board as well as access to randoms in their designated area by the storage spaces to build a model with.  Use foam board as a base which must be a minimum of 12 x 18.  You can use acrylic paint to mix your colors specifically and apply them to all of your materials.  Have fun!
