After School Here Be Dragons

Grades K-3rd

 

During our six week after school studios we will explore the World of Dragons by creating our own 3-D sculpture of the great beast.  Each student will complete one personal dragon to take home at the end of the workshop series and our young artists will also participate in a group dragon project that will be on display to the entire school.

In this workshop series we will use a variety of materials and techniques such as markers, paint, lots of glue, paper mache and assemblage. Students will need to bring a paper grocery bag (with handle) to class to carry home their creation and if they would like they can bring a paint shirt for the messy days. I will provide all of the art supplies and materials for these projects but I welcome donations of recycled materials such as: cardboard tubes, bottle caps (all shapes and sizes), flats pieces of card board, plastic lids, buttons, wire…please feel free to send them with your child for use by the team.
