A–Z Visual Vocabulary + Creative Design Integration
This resource was designed with educators in mind—whether you teach architecture, art, engineering, or run a cross-disciplinary STEAM program. It offers 26 ready-to-use sketch prompts, each tied to a global architectural term and paired with a short, story-based introduction that brings history and design to life.
With built-in flexibility, this resource can serve as:
- Daily bell-ringer or warm-up activity
- Sketchbook-building routine
- Visual vocabulary enrichment
- Design challenge for early finishers or enrichment students
- End-of-unit capstone project
Each activity supports students in developing their visual literacy, critical thinking, and design vocabulary, while reinforcing personal expression and spatial awareness.
