      This course provides students the opportunity to develop advanced skills in applying the elements and principles of design to interiors and exteriors. Portfolio projects are integrated throughout the course to provide applications as the students continue their study of floor plans, housing construction, housing systems, exteriors, maintaining a home, security needs and outdoor living environments. Appropriate computer design programs are used in this course. A coordinated project that allows applications of interior design skills in a residential, commercial or school setting may be a component of this course. Student leadership through Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) is an integral part of this course.

    • NOTE

      *This course is designed to be the 3rd course within a series. If a student has not had Interior Design I and/or II, then Topics 4-11 will need to be covered in classroom teaching or a self-paced study. The focus of this course is for the student to spend time completing two of the Comprehensive Projects of Topic 12. The student should spend time with a mentor whether in-person or virtually. Also, the Career Development of Topic 1 should be high priority of this course and can be implemented with the Mentorship unit. Local visitation to new construction, remodels, etc. is highly encouraged. Interior Designers can also be found through research and contacted virtually.
