🏰 Welcome to Creative Foundations: 1:1 PRIVATE LESSON! 🏠

In this 40-minute creative journey, your budding architect will explore the exciting world of architecture. With just a pencil, ruler, and paper, your young artist will unleash their imagination and design unique structures. This class can be taken as a stand-alone private lesson or taken as a weekly lesson.  There are currently 27+ lessons for the Creative Foundations class.

🌟 Class Highlights:

Diverse Structures: Design a variety of structures, including skyscrapers, treehouse, bridge, cabin, lighthouse, castle, farmhouse, and a few historical landmarks.  This class covers exterior views for some places, and interior views of others.

Personalized Guidance: Step-by-step instructions are given to ensure your learner grasps the fundamentals of drawing basic shapes and forms.  We also have fun adding three-dimensional elements to our sketches.  We occasionally use vanishing points (one & two point perspective).

Interactive Discussions: Engage in discussions about the characteristics that make each structure unique. Explore questions like who resides there, materials used, the surroundings, and special features. Think like an architect as you add to your design!

Inventive Freedom: Your learners is encouraged to infuse their creations with personal touches in each drawing. Does the bridge cross over land or water? Is there a pathway leading to your cabin? Does your structure have solar panels? Is your shop wheelchair accessible? The possibilities are endless!

👉 Additional Information:

Materials: pencil, ruler, and paper.

Age Range: This class is designed for learners ages 8-13.  

⏰ Punctuality Matters: The class starts right on time. I will open the classroom one minute before the class start time.

Our classes wouldn’t be the same without our furry “assistants!” Biscuit, Ms. Amy’s curious and mischievous studio cat, loves to rearrange art supplies and occasionally makes a surprise appearance during lessons. Jake, Ms. Ella’s playful cat, often tries to join the fun and “help” with art projects. You never know when one of them might pop in to add a little extra creativity to class!😺
