Architecture Scavenger Hunt
Find elements of Greek or Roman or Egyptian or medieval architecture in the buildings you see as you walk. Take photographs and make a collage.
Some suggestions:
|
Banks and post offices often have columns in front. Schools often do too, and fancy houses or apartment buildings. |
 |
Many churches are built in a Gothic or Romanesque style. |
 |
Go inside and check out the stained glass windows if you can. |
|
Sometimes parks or the entrances to neighborhoods will have triumphal arches. |
|
Your local stadium may be modelled on the Colosseum. |
| Discuss how front porches are like the Greek stoas. | |
 |
Look for cobblestone streets in historic areas. |
I'd be happy to hear your suggestions too! Please write and tell me about your scavenger hunt.
