In this high school level semester class, students will learn the foundations of Interior Design, while doing short assignments to build a resource book to prepare for a career in interior design. They will work with me, a professional Interior Designer & educator, to learn and practice interior design skills each week, including materials used in construction, types of window coverings & fabrics, color application & lighting, using accessories, how to create a design style and more. They will also learn about a different area of interior design each week in the career highlight portion of the class. 

After they complete each weekly class, an assignment will be given to present in the next class, such as build a collage of accessories, select flooring for a new home, etc. Having the students present in class will prepare them for discussing their designs with clients. At the end of the semester, students will be asked to present their own final design project (a room, home or public space) and explain how they incorporated all the skills they have learned throughout the course. 

What to expect: 
🎥 13 Lessons on Interior Design Professional Skills in a lecture & slide show format.

👍 Skills taught are based on Ms. Katie's professional interior design experience on the job 
      and in a university degree program. The goal is to prepare the student for a design career 
      or post high education in interior design. 

👨‍⚕️ Class will begin promptly, starting with a discussion/presentation of last week's assignments by the students. Then, I will give a visual presentation of that week's topic. Finally, we will have a discussion and explanation of the next assignment.
