INTRODUCTION TO MODEL MAKING

OK, we know that you are thinking that this is a class for making model cars, planes or boats from plastic kits. Well, guess what, you are wrong! This is a real modeling class that will teach the student how to create (conceptualize) from basic building blocks fantastic creations of three dimensional items, much like an architect would build to present his ideas to a client. Through the use of basic mathematics, a ruler, wood, cardboard, glue and other building materials you will create a model buildings or other objects. The student will learn how to take a vision (concept) and convert it to a fantastic three dimensional object. This will be a great class!! Parents are encouraged to attend at no additional cost to observe and participate in this class.

TAUGHT
We are taught to live,
we are
taught to feel.
We are taught to conform and conceal.

We are taught so well
what we
ought to feel
that we cannot feel what we feel.
- Piet Hein "Grooks"

Homeschooling in Action

The majority of parents feel affection for their children, and this sets limits to the harm they do them. But education authorities have no affection for the children concerned; at best, they are actuated by public spirit, which is directed towards the community as a whole, and not merely towards the children; at worst, they are politicians engaged in squabbles for plums
- Bertrand Russell
