5th Grade Hundertwasser Architecture

5th grade artists have studied the unique architectural forms of the Austrian artist Friedrich Hundertwasser. They noticed the organic forms in his buildings compared to the inorganic and repetitive forms in the architecture of his time. 5th graders created their own architecture with curved lines, "lollipop" trees (like Hundertwasser), and bright colors in his style.
