Art Camp: Paper Airplane Design 
June 8-12, 1–3pm
Led by Griffin Art Director Johnny Walker

Making paper airplanes is one of the most fun ways to better understand and appreciate the 3D design process! We’ll begin with a simple set of materials and tools and basic folding techniques. These will give us the foundations of our designs. Each day in class, we’ll begin by building several planes. Our planes will all have different flight characteristics. We’ll study how the different forms and features of each plane affect its flight. We’ll modify our designs and keep a log with drawings and written observations. We’ll learn the basics of aerodynamics and use this knowledge to inform our designs. At the end of the week we’ll create our own planes by designing, building prototypes, test flying, modifying, and finalizing.
