Students will gain a preliminary knowledge of how to use different drawing types to express how a building is designed and constructed. This will be a general working knowledge of how architectural plans are used to describe a building. Students will design their own house and the class will be fun and exploratory in nature. Students will leave this class with a basic set of architectural plans that they drew themselves. This is a fantastic introduction to architectural drawings for anyone interested in architecture.

Specific learning outcomes include:
-Knowing how to use an architectural scale, draw and measure scaled drawings.
-How to read the symbols commonly used on architectural plans.
-Knowing the basic types of architectural drawings and how they are used to create an actual building.
-Learning how to present your ideas to others and receive constructive feedback.

I have a degree in architecture and have worked many architectural firms. I have also run my own architectural drafting and design company. 
I'm a homeschool mom of three kids and have also run a homeschool enrichment program of 30 kids where we did group projects. I love engaging students and having a chance to develop in kids lifelong skills that will serve them in many areas of their life.

提供的家庭作業
Each week the students will be required to produce a drawing of the particular type we are learning. 
We will be using the Outschool classroom for videos and Flipgrid for interactions and feedback during the week before the final presentation. We will also create a Pinterest board to share ideas and spark creativity. 
During each week there will be instructional videos that present the necessary concepts and requirements for each drawing type. 
After each video there will be several small assignments that guide the students through the necessary steps to produce a high-quality architectural drawing of their home. 

At the end of each week, there will be a live meeting where students present their drawings to the class. Classmates will provide feedback and ideas. I will provide a more complete review of the drawing and presentation.
This class will have a lot of homework, but if your student likes architecture already, it shouldn't be too hard for them to complete. 

If you're a learner is on the younger side, I would recommend the parents help them with the project each week. Younger learners may need additional help at the beginning understanding how to use the architectural scale and how to design their house.
