The Great Architects - Learn Architecture History & Sketch Iconic Buildings!

In this class, we will go over some of the most famous architects in the world. Together we will learn about their story, their notable works, and at the end of the class, sketch our very own building! 

Each lesson is unique and is structured around the story of the architect. We go over their background, their personal style, and their famous buildings. 

At the end of each lesson, we’ll spend some time Sketching step-by-step, one of their structures. This will be a great opportunity to not only understand
the building, but also improve one’s sketching abilities!

My teaching style is very visual and hands-on, making the learning experience tactile and memorable. 

This class is a great opportunity not just to learn about architecture, but also unleash your own creativity!

LEARNING GOALS:

At the end of each lesson, I love to ask students “What is one thing you learned from today?” 
My goal is not for students to remember all the facts or details about the architect, but rather the overall story, and why their work is important. It’s also my goal to empower my students to become better designers by implementing
the sketching techniques of the masters. I hope to inspire them creatively!
