We're going to jump into a LOT of fun techniques, media, shapes and texture, including but not limited to....
- This class should prompt you, more than anything, to work with what you have. Search through your storage for old craft supplies like glitter, ribbon, wrapping paper, old magazines, etc. Grab the newspaper from your recycling bin. Borrow your kid's paint, or even better, have them play along! Use crayons, pencils, found nature items, and more to form overlapping shapes to create your very own playful animal out of collage. .
- This project will form organically as you dive into the process of creating. It's less about the final product and more about embracing imperfections during the process as you enjoy the textures of different media and allowing your imagination to open up a bit more. .
- Be sure to upload your class project so we can all see the animal you chose and the fun result that your process rendered!.
