Designing Buildings & Building Confidence

In this 6 week course, students will have the opportunity to learn about different types of architecture through drawings, collage, and construction. Each student will be the architect of their own projects, designing and building in their own unique style. I encourage class interaction, sharing of ideas, and team collaboration throughout the sessions. This is a perfect class for students wanting to learn more about architecture or for those that just love being creative! All levels are welcome!
