Class Experience

In this class, students will construct and design skyscrapers out of paper. As a group, we will look at slide examples and discuss the architectural properties of a skyscraper. Following the slide review, the students will be guided through a step by step collage process to make their own unique skyscrapers.

I will encourage them to express their creativity and share their ideas to the group.  I love to incorporate fun and laughter into my classes while maintaining clear goals and expectations.  Each student will finish class with their own unique skyscraper design, an understanding of basic architectural elements, and architecture.  

This class may move quicker or slower than anticipated based on the needs of the individual students. Questions, conversations, and sharing are handled gently and respectfully by the teacher. 

This class welcomes beginners.  Just bring your supplies and a creative & open mind.

Learning Goals

Students will learn basic architectural elements (and the corresponding geometric terms) that can be found on a skyscraper.
