This introductory course teaches the basics of miniature model making by inviting students to create a 1:12 scale model of a space that means something to them. This could be a space from your past that holds significance to you, a room described in a book, or something you dream up. Students will work with materials such as foam core, polymer clay, and reinvent material scraps, found objects and recyclables into new mini creations. Students will learn the basics of working at a small scale, sketching out their ideas and translating it into it's physical form, and how to properly use an X-acto knife to cut clean crisp lines.
