Ages 11-14   

Focusing on the art of Architecture, the vibrant San Antonio landscape will be used inspire students to create artworks based on local structures. Students will create drawings, watercolor paintings, and small scale structural models reflecting the beauty of the city.

Students will design the city of their dreams, inspired by visionary architectural renderings and artists who imagine the future. They will explore how architects visualize possibility and make real-world connections between art, design, and community planning. Using accessible materials like cardboard and mixed media, students will transform their ideas into three-dimensional models. Throughout the process, they will think like architects—considering scale, materials, feasibility, and purpose—while developing creative problem-solving and spatial awareness skills.

Inspired by Chris Burden’s Metropolis II, students will imagine and construct a dynamic city centered on movement, roadways, and transportation systems. Using Hot Wheels cars and gravity, they will design and build a multi-level track that weaves through architectural structures from a defined starting point to a final destination. Along the way, students will explore principles of geometry, physics, urban planning, and systems thinking. The guiding challenge: how can we engineer a roadway that carries a toy car smoothly through twists and turns to the end of its journey?

Curriculum to include an introduction to urban planning, development of The Riverwalk, and an historical overview of San Antonio. Each student will choose a building along the river to analyze, draw, and model/map in context over the course of the week. The last session is a Go Rio Boat ride and walking tour of UTSA Southwest Campus.

Inspired by the San Antonio River and the Edwards Aquifer, students will explore the vital role water plays in the health, sustainability, and development of San Antonio. They will learn how water systems shape city planning while examining the work of SAWS and the San Antonio River Authority in conservation, rehabilitation, and public access. Through hands-on design challenges, students will investigate how water moves, is filtered, and is protected. The culminating project invites students to design a gravity-powered water filtration system that transforms “contaminated” water into “rehabilitated” water through an immersive, room-scale installation.

Students will design and create original film props that bring characters and stories to life. They will develop a character concept and craft meaningful objects that reflect the character’s background, personality, and world. Students will learn how to conceptualize, sketch, prototype, and build using accessible materials while thinking through detail, function, and storytelling. Through real-world examples from professional film art departments, students will connect classroom creativity to industry practices.
