AROUND THE WRIGHT WORLD

TALIESIN YOUTH CAMP: MINECRAFT DONE WRIGHT!

AROUND THE WRIGHT WORLD

TALIESIN YOUTH CAMP: DESIGN A SPACE THAT’S WRIGHT FOR YOU (in person)

Wright designed Taliesin as a space that’s (W)right for him and envisioned it as a school, a home, and a farm. What will your dream space look like? This architecture camp will introduce you to the principles of organic architecture and the work and life of Frank Lloyd Wright. We will study and explore Taliesin first-hand, and research Wright’s Taliesin design, as inspiration for your own design. Each of you will draw a floor plan to scale and build a 3D model of your space. At the end of the camp, you will have the opportunity to present each individual project to parents and family members.

TALIESIN YOUTH CAMP: CREATIVE WRITING

We’ll spend time developing our casts of characters, figuring out their curses, their callings, their dark desires, and their destinies. Then we will send these characters on quests for simple objects (maybe tacos?) and then on epic quests across dangerous landscapes where their truest selves will be revealed.

AROUND THE WRIGHT WORLD

TALIESIN YOUTH CAMP: DESIGN A SPACE THAT’S WRIGHT FOR YOU (online)

In this virtual, weeklong summer camp, we will explore how Wright approached the design process in creating his own Taliesin estate. In live two-hour morning sessions, we will look deeply into the architectural details of Wright’s home and studio, using Taliesin as a text for organic principles of design. Students will incorporate what they have learned in our group sessions into a designed space that is (W)right for them. We will guide them through scaled floor plan drawing and model-building techniques, allowing them to design, draw and build their designs during the hands-on, off-screen afternoon sessions at home. To make sure all students have the necessary materials on hand for the camp week, a prepared kit will be mailed to families.
