Onion Dome Castles
Grade 3
Mercer elementary
Mrs. Winship
Art teacher: F. Chin |
| This lesson was inspired by Onion Dome Churches of Russia. Students
learned about the symbolism with this architecture. Some historians
say that it is shaped like a glowing candle, reaching for the sky. Bright
colors were used to make the building stand out and create a sense of warmth
in the cold climate of Russia. Students of Mercer Elementary were inspired
by this form and used the onion dome design to create their own imaginary castle. |
