Then she loved it so much in 9th grade that she wanted to continue with it in 10th grade. Begin the search for materials again... :)
Since HGTV and the DIY Network are so popular, I'm guessing there are other students out there that might be interested in an elective course too. Here it is for you!
Part 1 is a half-credit course, while part 2 has enough work to be a full credit. You could add a lot of hands-on project hours and have 2 full credits. Enjoy!

Course Description:
In this
course, the student will use various resources to explore the world of interior
design and decorating. Topics will include: the history of furniture styles,
color and design principles, measuring/drawing floor plans, space planning,
architectural details, flooring, lighting, window treatments, 2-D and 3-D
objects, kitchens and baths, and interior design as a business. They will put
into practice what they learn by completing full designs for 2 living rooms, a
dining room, kitchen, bath, and bedroom. For those rooms, they will create
floor and space plans, lighting and furniture schedules, sample boards, and
budgets. They will complete various other projects like creating a watercolor
color wheel, creating a business name and business card, using architectural
detail cut-outs to create interiors that match exteriors worksheets, creating
furniture style notecards, creating an architectural detail glossary, sewing a
pillow, and writing responses to prompts. The student will also keep a log of

We also kept a log of hours for any home decorating or DIY that Soprano tackled or helped us with. We're in the middle of some remodeling so she was able to get quite a few hours. It's another good way to have some practical hands-on work.
Happy designing!
