Ray and Charles Eames

The fourth grade has been studying design, architecture and modernist designers. They have been learning about the Ray and Charles Eames and the important contributions this husband and wife team made to the fields of architecture, film , photography, furniture design and toys. The Eames said "toys are not as innocent as they look. Toys and games are preludes to serious ideas".
Here is an example of one of their "toys".

The fourth grade artists have created their own Eames cards. The student used the same elements as the artists; clean edges, colorful designs, repetition and whimsy.

Once all the cards are complete, we will finish with a collaborative sculpture as we will be putting the "house" together. Look for the work around the school.
