ARCHITECTURE
Have you ever thought about how you can improve your children’s problem solving skills? We, at CCSA, have some classes the ultimate goal of which is not necessarily art. In fact, art is a tool in these classes to help us develop our students’ skills necessary for their future life. Every student in our architecture classes learns a variety of problem-solving skills not only about architecture and environment but in other areas where they can apply these skills in their life. Moreover, we believe that teaching children how to observe, understand and enjoy the environment will boost their creativity and will prepare them to play an active role as citizens. Students will also get familiar with the key concepts in architecture, such as architecture drawing, architecture design, architecture structure, sketching, graphics, modeling, etc. All students have an opportunity to develop their architectural work every session and receive feedback form their instructors.
