Skill Up: Architectural perspectives - June 2021

Join us for this online creative architecture workshop for young people aged 15 to 18. Develop your drawing skills and get some perspective using household items and interiors as inspiration.

About the workshop

We will focus on perspective drawing, using simple exercises to learn how to draw in one and two-point perspective. You will then have time to experiment with the techniques you learned by drawing an architectural view of the room you are in.

Materials

  • a box-shaped object (book, small rectangular box or container)
  • at least five sheets of blank paper (A4 or A3 if possible)
  • pencils
  • ruler

This online creative architecture workshop is led by educator Marianne Holm Hansen for young people aged 15 to 18 years.

This is a repeat of an online workshop delivered in October 2020 and April 2021.

About the workshop series

Our workshops for ages 15 to 18 ‘skill up’ teenagers who are thinking about studying architecture or design. Participants think critically, share their views on architecture and express themselves through creative practice. In past workshops, participants have learned how to work to an architectural brief, improve portfolios, develop architectural drawing skills using a variety of media (including digital drawing on iPads) and photography skills, and work individually and collaboratively to think about how to design sustainable and responsible architecture.

The workshop will take place online via Microsoft Teams. A link will be sent to participants with confirmed bookings. This event is suitable for those aged 15 to 18 years old. These workshops are led by professional educators and supervised by RIBA staff. Please see the materials list for items that will be required during the workshop.

If you're under 18, tickets must be booked by a parent or guardian. Online booking in advance is essential and if we do not receive full registration information in advance of the event we cannot allow the participant to attend.

Workshop costs

  • £20 excluding booking fee
  • £15 for participants who qualify for free school lunch (proof required)
