Taliesin Youth Camp: Design a Space That’s Wright for You (Virtual)

In this virtual weeklong summer camp, we will explore how Frank Lloyd Wright approached the design process in creating his own Taliesin estate.

In live two-hour morning sessions, we will look deeply into the architectural details of Wright’s home and studio, using Taliesin as a text for organic principles of design. Students will incorporate what they have learned in our group sessions into a designed space that is (W)right for them.

We will guide them through scaled floor plan drawing and model-building techniques, allowing them to design, draw and build their designs during the hands-on, off-screen afternoon sessions at home.

Students should plan on up to two hours each day outside of scheduled class time to work on creative off-screen activities in the afternoon.

To make sure all students have the necessary materials on hand for the camp week, a prepared kit will be mailed to families.

Technology required:

• Reliable Internet access
• Computer, laptop, or tablet, with speakers, microphone, and camera capabilities.
• We will be using Google classrooms (free)
