On occasion if I see that students are specifically interested in a specific style, I am well aware some are more popular than others I will keep my right to reorganize the order to cater to the interests of students.
I work as a designer and I am passionate about architectural and furniture history and I will gladly expand my classes to cater to students needs! This can include - cars, planes and anything industrial design related!
This class will be suitable for students interested in antiquing as well as industrial and interior design. 
For homework we might have a field trip to an Antique mall at the end of the course! How fun! To see how many furniture pieces you can recognize on your own!
Lets  learn about design and sketch together as I talk about the history behind it!

Looking forward to meeting your learner,
Best,
Lila
