***Due to protecting learner privacy, class recordings will not be available*** ***All learners are required to have their camera on at the start of class*** Are you looking for a fun, informal, and creative jumpstart into the world of architectural design for your child? Are you seeking a course that will ensure drawing success and confidence, even for beginners? Are you looking for an experienced teacher to guide and enable your child through the design process? Architecture: Home Sweet Home is the right course for you! It is perfect for children, both experienced and beginner aspiring architects. The 40 minute course is meant to be an informal creative exercise for your child where we will collectively design and draw a home. Each session will begin with an introduction and check-in. Following the introduction, students will flow through the design process (see class structure below for more details), and lastly we will share-out and discuss. This course is designed to give your child the tools they need to begin their creative journey into architectural thinking and design. Class Structure: 0-5 minutes: Introduction and check-in 5-10 minutes: Space plan diagram 10-25 minutes: Transform space plan diagram into a floor-plan 25-35 minutes: Final details 35-40 minutes: Share-out and discussion Outcomes: 1.

Supply List
Students should come to class with any form of drawing utensils and drawing surfaces! (i.e. pens, pencils, paint, markers, charcoal, paper, rulers) **I recommend at least two sheets of paper - 1 for the diagram and 1 for the floor plan** Can my child attend class without their video/audio enabled? For safety, Outschool requires that learners meet with each teacher over video chat at least once. This can be a quick check-in at the beginning of class to allow the teacher to confirm your learner’s identity. We encourage learners to enable their audio/video during the rest of class to create a more social experience for all learners, but it’s not required.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree in Architecture from Iowa State University
Hello! My name is Bethanie Jones and I am an architectural designer, educator, and artist residing in Seattle, Washington. I hold a BA in Architecture from Iowa State University and a specialization in UX/UI design from the California Institute of the Arts.
As a designer and artist, I look to allow the rigidity of one discipline to balance the conceptual fluidity of the other. This exchange maintains my hyper sensitivity to space and how users experience space. The tensions in space psychology, how beauty is perceived, the unseeable, and finding sensation in the seemingly mundane are at the front of my practice.
Additionally, I love to spend my time investing back into education by teaching kids on Outschool. I am a firm believer in mentorship and inspiring independent thought through self-learning. My hope is to bring joy and excitement while providing clear structure, direction, and self-rule to make a lasting impact for learners.
Recently, I have been the recipient of numerous awards and grants in recognition of my continuing effort in the architecture and design community. My recognitions are a testament to the dedication and heart that I bring to the industry, art, and education.
Please join me :) let's hangout, learn, and design together!
