England: Castles and Mazes

This is Bodiam Castle, one example of England's historic castles!

This week, we will continue to learn about ENGLAND by making some art.  Last week's project about London introduced you to some famous landmarks in a big city.  Outside the city, England has miles of beautiful countryside.  This space has lots of lovely farms, but there are also over 1,500 castles!  First, you will watch an Are We There Yet video with a castle and some mazes, hear a story about a castle, and then you will have the chance to create and share your own castle and/or maze!  


  • Then try to draw a MAZE!  You can invent your own, and be sure to decorate it creatively.  If you need help, you can use these directions:  How to Draw a Maze
  • Finally, create a castle with Ms. Ammons in this video that reviews lines, shapes, patterns and textures:

Project Goals: 4=A, 3=B, 2=C, 1=D, 0=F
  • Strong Scissor Skills:  Careful Cutting
  • Two or More Textures
  • Creative Details
  • Color Variety
