>Ideas for buildings
and other elements are everywhere around. In books, in reality and start
by yourself.
|
The first assignment for the children from the
ALE-ASTE KOULU (primary school) in Haukivuori was to visualize their ideas on a piece of paper without further
information. Most of the children were not able to draw anything else
than the clichés of trees, or were drawing complete other elements.
|
|
The second introduction was related to the idea to
think about the way how to build structures in the trees around Saksala.
To show the area and the size of the trees they saw pictures of different arrangements.
In combination with pictures from Cameroon artists it was possible for
them to find new and interesting combinations.

With a gray print of single tree or a group of trees it is more inviting to start and
construct new forms.
The prints were made on A4 160 grs/m² drawing paper to guarantee a good
quality of under layer. The children draw with graphite pencil B, 2B and
4B

During
the lesson the children got instructions and information about new
possibilities. As much as possible real objects and pictures go with the
instructions
|
|
In the third lesson
the central theme was to visualize how the buildings are in the tree.
What is in front, what behind the trunk or branch?
What is inside and what is outside?
How can you show what is open and what is closed?
How can you create a stable construction under the floor?
Different pictures from the book: TREEHOUSES make clear what are
solutions

and even
the trees did not to be drawn, it was not so easy to realize, but the
results more insight in this problem.
It is for children of 12 years old a challenge to discover this area
step by step.
