Each week we will discover a new style of architecture for building a home. Participants will have time to work on their own exterior and/or interior designs. It is their choice whether they want to draw by hand or use (free version) of floorplanner.com. Teaching methods will include lecture, drawing / designing, slides, video clips, and group discussion. Using break out rooms, participants will be able to discuss each other’s work using a simple and friendly critique/ conversation methodology called wow/wonder/wish. Wow = I love x, y, z (compliments) Wonder = asking questions about the design (clarification) Wish = I wish your house included an aquarium (gentle critique/ brainstorming/ imagination) Architectural Styles Include: Tudor Cape Ranch Victorian Frank Lloyd Wright Geodesic Dome Tiny House Roman Villa American Craftsman Gothic Revival Neoclassical Glass House Utilitarian Bauhaus Art Deco Classical Romanesque Baroque Art Nouveau Mid Century Modern Contemporary Deconstructivism Log Cabin French Provincial Colonial, Dutch Colonial Cottage Mediterranean Earth Ship Pueblo Revival Farmhouse Oriental Fachwerkhäuser

Teacher expertise and credentials
Over the past nine years of my career as an experiential educator, I have taught every age group from pre-schoolers to retirees in private school, camp, university-level, and more. With a bachelor's degree in Ancient Near Eastern Studies (Brandeis 2011), an M.F.A in Creative Writing (UMASS Boston 2017), and past service as an agricultural extensionist for Peace Corps, Paraguay, I couple knowledge of the ancient world with survival skills, poetry with animal husbandry.
My classes are learner-centered--I want to know what you are curious about so we can explore together. I care about each of my students (especially in these difficult times) and I hope our adventures together will be nurturing as well as educational.
My specialties include: Ancient Near East/Mesopotamia, Creative Writing, Literature, Agriculture, Spanish, Hebrew, Guarani (indigenous language), Bible (and its historical context), Recycled Art, Vegan Cooking, WWII, and Judaic Studies. Reviews
