El Education: Architectural Features Cards

Curated by ACT

Fifth grade students at Genesee Community Charter School created these cards during an expedition called Liberty and Justice for All ? To create the cards, students researched and sketched Federal, Georgian, Colonial, Greek and other architectural styles on field studies to Rochester, Boston, and Philadelphia. Each student created a card about a particular architectural feature, with an ink and watercolor illustration on the front and a description of the feature on the back.
