Would you fly with the wings of an eagle or have the curiosity of a magpie? Would you want super strength like a rhino or the protective spikes of a porcupine? Young artists create a team of superheroes using clay and glazes to make their own “action figures” and then design a story to tell their adventure. Students discover the magic of monoprinting through 2D and 3D techniques such as fabric stamping, texture printing, aluminum foil imaging and dry rubbing. Because monoprinting is a painterly way of creating imagery, we explore multiple methods of image making and use our prints to make final collages. If you had a dragon for a friend, what would it look like and what would it do for your community? Join us and find your inner dragon! Examine textures, bone structures, footprints, teeth, fire, wings, horns and roars as you envision your own dragon creation. Listen to classic dragon stories from cultures around the world to spark your imagination. Then create your own original dragon in clay and papier-mâché and write a story about your dragon friend. It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane  Monoprint Magic!  Pam Kravetz is an artist and art educator living in Cincinnati, Ohio.

We learn poster design techniques including transfer, tracing, stenciling and color theory, and we also sculpt and decorate masks depicting characters from the book and film using salt dough, folk art paint and varnishing materials. Bring creatures to life through clay sculptures and mixed-media environments. Through games, we invent new movements and body forms. Students learn about scale, part-to-whole relationships and armatures. We sculpt parts and make realistic representations from clay. Then we design homes with mixed-media and found materials. The final creatures are representations of ourselves and our dreams. Hilary Forsyth is the Art Director at the Aspen Community School.
