Lego Architecture
Art Project... need help?

i need an idea for a short 5 minute presentation that will spark a disscussion in the classroom

some examples of previous projects: some people have done a slideshows on a guy that draws mad good sidewalk chalk drawings, the line between pornography and art, and Lego Block art...

i was possibly thinking freemason art and architecture and the symbolism behind it, but i know almost nothing about it and its hard to find credible non conspiracy info..

Masonic Architecture can be tricky (elusive, if not sketchy records or recollections), but if you want a primer on some of the symbology common in Freemasonry, I recommend "Freemasons for Dummies" - written by a Mason, Chris Hodapp. He's very upfront about what he can and can't discuss - an excellent book for Masons and the curious alike.

You may find it in your local library, if not ask.

That said, the following discussion will likely not provide constructive discussion (unless there are vocal Freemasons in the classroom to provide informed, educated, representation). Misinformation and conspiracy theories are prevelant, and sure to be shared in the classroom - if this is not the intent, I suggest an alternative topic.

How about the medium of comic books and graphic novels? Big difference from the early Detective Comics and the current day Dark Horse works, for instance.
