Teaching by Design: Lesson Plans

Teaching by Design seeks to carry on the legacy of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright with lesson plans that bring art, design, and nature into the classroom. Wright's ideas, such as organic architecture and community design, are connected with cross-curricular themes including geometry, biology, visual art, and social studies. For example, the "Sprouting Design" activity, inspired by Wright's Robie House, lets students design the footprint of a building with geometric shapes and then germinate grass seeds to create a 3D model of their structure. On the Lesson Plans landing page, each resource is labeled with integrated subjects, as well as the target grade level. Filters at the top of the page let visitors search lesson plans by grade level or subject. Readers can click "View Lesson" for a downloadable PDF of the lesson plan. Teaching by Design is funded in part by the Terra Foundation for American Art and by the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
