little architects

Ages 5+60 minutes$45 drop-in

In Little Architects, children design and build the inspiring structures they see all around them. Children are presented with a type of structure that they get to design in their own way. They will collaborate with peers to brainstorm what they need to include for safety and the operation of their structure along with fun elements they wish to add to make it more exciting. Structures include cruise ships, tree houses, shopping malls, amusement parks, schools, resorts, parks, zoos, sky scrapers, train stations, airports, and so many more types of buildings. Working individually, children will learn how to explore and create space by hand-drafting while following guidance from the instructor. Drawings will include floor plans, material keys, interior design mood boards, interior perspective, and 3D models of their structures. At the end of each activity, children will showcase their blueprints and models. As "Little Architects," we empower them to speak confidently about their design, explain its features, and offer positive feedback and questions.

Every session is led by our art-accredited teaching artists, who give each child individual attention and guidance. Children always leave with a piece of art, new skills, and a great sense of accomplishment.
