For centuries, miniature models have been used as representations of larger things or as standalone objects of wonder. In this seven week course, students will work at ‘dollhouse scale’ (1:12 or 1:24) on a personal project that would benefit from expression as a dollhouse, diorama, or maquette. Coursework will emphasize the importance of an organized and well-managed digital-workspace and students will learn methods of laying out and building physical models as studies, mock-ups or finished objects. Depending on what each project requires, students will have access to laser cutters, 3D printers, and a CNC mill to realize their miniature scenarios. At the end of seven weeks each student will present a scale model complete with scale figures.
