Introduction to Architecture
(for students ages 12 and older)

"Introduction to Architecture" provides students with a strong architectural design foundation through architectural projects, architectural sketching and research. This course is fairly intense with six to ten hours of work suggested for each of the nine lessons. Students may take this course over nine or eighteen weeks individually or according to the schedules for Zoom classes.. By the end of the course, students will have an idea of the architectural periods throughout history, a strong foundation in drawing and modeling techniques and will have completed a final architectural design project in the form of plans, elevations and models.

Lesson Format
Students write a paragraph/paper related to the historical time period of the lesson.
Students create a scrapbook of architectural sketches of buildings from the given time period and are required to complete an architectural design project for each lesson .**
Students complete the course with a final design project.

**THE PROJECTS BUILD UPON EACH OTHER WHILE TEACHING THE ELEMENTS OF ARCHITECTURE

STUDENTS SHOULD EXPECT TO SPEND 6-10 HOURS ON EACH LESSON
USUALLY 1/2 HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT IS SUGGESTED (90 HOURS OF COURSE WORK).
THE WORK IN THIS COURSE WILL PROVIDE ACCOMPLISHED EXAMPLES OF STUDENT WORK FOR COLLEGE APPLICATIONS AND AP ART PORTFOLIOS.
