Great points. I agree it will not complete a portfolio. Taking an art class at high school, online or a local program can help. My daughter was so afraid to take the summer program because it mentioned that they would be doing a lot of sketching. I was blown away by the quality of her work. The program really focused on taking someone new to drawing all the way to getting great portfolio pieces. We also wanted her to take this summer program to make sure she really wanted to study architecture. She has midnight or later in the studio, deadlines to meet, visiting architects, site visits, visits to architecture firms. The RWU program was excellent!!! She met 20 plus other high school students also interested in architecture. The program definitely helped her know what architecture is all about!! She’s all on board.
