      Thansk for sharing! Actually I was lucky enough last summer to drive past the Louis Sullivan bank buildings in Iowa and Minnesota. There’s a symmetry activity, because there was so much symmetry involved in Sullivan’s work. I like the cooking activities myself. All these things were part of Wright’s life, so they were an opportunity for me to introduce those ideas to the kids by showing them, rather than just talking at them more. keep sharing!
