Class Overview
We continued Part 2 of looking at architecture by sharing some of our favorite architectural structures. We then reviewed the basic principles of architecture - Durability, Utility, and Design- before jumping into a bit of Egyptian architecture; we marveled at how they were able to build such impressive structures without our modern engineering and tools!
Jumping into the Biblical perspective, we read in Exodus 1 how the Israelites played a role in some of this Egyptian architecture. Verse 14 reads, "They made their lives bitter with harsh labor in brick and mortar..." This led us to a more in depth study of what the mundane task of brick making involves.
Project
Each student made a set of bricks out of plaster - we took the easier, less-messy route for our bricks!
