Life Skills-Art-Technology: Homestyler Project
Welcome home! Students are designing their ideal home using an online program called Homestyler. Using an online canvas, students add rooms, furnish their living spaces and landscape their front/back yards. The idea of the project is to incorporate art, technology and life skill application. Once students have designed their home and furnished each room, they will print out an inventory list of their decor, appliances and furniture and research the cost of each item. This number will give the students an idea of what it could potentially cost to furnish a home and purchase the necessary appliances needed in order to make a home function. Students will also collaborate as small groups, positively critique each other's work and at the end present their lovely home to the class. Check out some of the designs so far!
