Shape and color. An architecture course

Date

Schedule

Tuesdays 17:00–18:45

Place

Garage Kids' Studio

DESCRIPTION

This course’s basic principle is perceiving architecture through the prism of geometric shapes.

Children learn how to turn a drawing into a three-dimensional shape, making a pyramid or a cone from a triangle, for example. The color-circle and the way color influences volume are also studied: children learn to combine colors, make complementary colors, and change the shape of an object with color. Each class includes studying examples of different geometric shapes and volumes in architecture, and creating a model on the basis of this knowledge. The course is designed to help children grasp the spatial correlation of various objects and understand the laws of scale and proportion; it will cover basic architectural terms and introduce children to the works of famous architects in a simple and accessible way.
