This case study outlines the program that a teacher developed to integrate a course entitled "Southwest Cultures through Art" for middle school students around an anthropological theme. The course featured units on collage, petroglyphs, and pottery but mostly vernacular architecture. The case starts with a description of the context and participants, an overview of the course, and instructional content in action. A report of the architecture project, working problems, and an example of a student group final presentation is given. The study ends with teachers' and students' responses to the project and conclusions and suggestions for future development. (Author/KC)
