Architecture Drawing Club - Explore the World's Landmarks! 🏰

Welcome to the 'Architecture Drawing Club,' a perfect class for learners with a passion for sketching buildings, bridges, and landscapes! Join our weekly class where we sketch famous landmarks from around the globe. All you need is a pencil, ruler, and a sheet of paper!  Please note that while this class is an enrichment club, it is also an intensive drawing class with teacher-led instruction and continuous guidance throughout each lesson. The class moves at a fast pace.  

What to Expect:

✏️ Guided Drawing: Led by step-by-step instructions, learners will focus on lines, shapes, and surrounding details, occasionally incorporating vanishing points for added depth. This is a 40 minute teacher-led narrated drawing.

🌐 Global Perspective: A new landmark every week! Learners explore many different architectural styles.  I usually choose places that are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Landmarks may be repeated at some point, but the perspective and approach will always be unique.

📈 Paced Learning: The class moves at a quick pace, providing minimal downtime between steps. Beginners are welcome, but note that the pace ensures active engagement throughout the entire 40-minute class.

🖥️ Interactive Feedback: Learners provide a thumbs up (or down) at various points during the lesson, helping to indicate that they are on track or if they need additional help.

🏛️ Architectural Insights: Beyond drawing techniques, we will discuss interesting facts and the architectural style of each landmark.

🔸 Class Size: Limited to 6 learners, I maintain a focused and personalized environment.

🔸 Age Recommendation: Ideal for learners 11 years and older due to the class's quick pace. Age exceptions considered based on the learner's ability level.  If your learner is under the age of 11 years old, please send me a message, I want to ensure that this class would be a good fit.

📹 Camera Policy: While camera-on is preferred, this class is camera-off friendly. Learners must check in with their camera on at the beginning of each class before turning off their camera.  I will open the classroom one minute before the class start time to allow learners to check in.

⏰ Punctuality Matters: The class starts promptly, and being on time is important. Latecomers or absent students may watch the playback recording.

🚀 Pausing a learner's subscription does not save their spot in the class. As I maintain a class size limit of 6, I cannot hold spots or guarantee when one will become available again. All class enrollments are on a first come, first serve basis. Thank you for your understanding.
