Architecture,” from June 9 - 20. Through a series of architecture workshops,

an appreciation of local history, and an understanding of architectural
education.
content
CoFA 2003 is structured as
design media and design studio workshops.
The design media workshops include freehand drawing and digital media sessions. The freehand drawing sessions will focus on still life, model, and portrait drawing techniques using various media. Digital media sessions will focus on multimedia Web site development. The media workshop final project will challenge the students to combine sketches, images and video clips that describe the architecture of Tallahassee.
The design studio workshops will focus on understanding design as a creative search. Through quick sketches and process models, students will develop creative, full-scale solutions to a design problem. The studio is not a drafting class. The final projects will become part of a summer exhibit in the School of Architecture gallery.
participantsHigh school students with an interest in design are encouraged to apply for one to four workshops. Architecture faculty, preservationists, and local architects will teach the workshops. All of the activities will be held at the FAMU School of Architecture building.
schedule
Four workshops (two design media and two design
studio) will be presented over a two-week period. Each workshop is
structured as a half-day session that starts on Monday and ends on Friday.
The morning workshops are from 8:30-12:00 noon. The afternoon workshops
are from 1:00-4:30pm.
The daily schedule provides a 60-minute break between the morning and afternoon sessions. Students may bring their lunch. Snack and soda vending machines are located in the architecture building. In contrast to our previous architecture camps, college credit and housing will not be provided.
