What kind of superhero would you be?
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!

Maurice Sendak’s masterpiece of illustrated children’s literature, Where the Wild
Things Are, inspires us to create monster
movie posters and masquerade masks.
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. She is the coowner and illustrator of The Family Field
Guide Series: Rocky Mountain Mammals,
Rocky Mountain Plants, Rocky Mountain
Birds and Rocky Mountain Bugs.
