Explore the engineering behind a race car

About the Class

Art of the Car

Race cars and trucks are dynamic. Although their shape, design and look have changed over the years, driving fast to win is still the goal. During the workshop, students will explore how cars are designed by identifying what shapes they see within the car, how to draw a car and then creating their own paint and body designs using a variety of mediums. Students will create their own “driver” card or trophy that best represents themselves, their school, club or camp.
