Programs are customized to enrich and extend existing classroom studies and address core subject standards. All residencies include art materials, a planning meeting with participating teachers, and a series of 90-minute classroom workshops. Program length varies from 6-10+ sessions. Activities include hands-on art and design projects, scale model building, engineering challenges, and neighborhood walks. Programs can also be offered as after-school enrichment.
Learning By Design:NY programs will be conducted virtually during school year 20-21 as a series of live, interactive 90-minute sessions led by a CFA Design Educator. Each session includes discussions, inquiry-based investigations of architectural examples and hands-on design activities. Schools are expected to supply basic materials such as scissors, pencils, rulers, markers/crayons. Additional program materials will be provided by CFA.
