Little architects: the column

This workshop introduces students to an emblematic element of medieval architecture: the column. Using pre-cut elements representing the constituent parts of this support, and working on shapes and colors, with collage and coloring, pupils will be able to reassemble a column. From the base to the capital, via the shaft and the drums, children will be able to acquire new vocabulary and understand the essential role of this element, which they will see many times during the visit. Models of arches supported by columns will bring the session to a close, giving concrete form to the workings of this architectural ensemble. Workshop - 1H30.
