Let your imagination soar in this lively, mixed media workshop. Students will use new and recycled materials to create their own feathered friend. Whimsically whacky or more realistic - you choose. The first session is building the sturdy armature and basic paper mache. The second session concentrates on painting and embellishing your avian creation.

Design a dog, fashion a feline or create a critter and "bring it to life" with paper mache. Students will use a variety of recyclable materials including plastic bottles, cardboard and newspaper to create an animal's body shape, then add layers of paper mache, embellishments and paint to create their very own "Art-Official Pet". During the process, we'll explore a variety of techniques, textures and recipes in paper mache. Materials fee covers all needed supplies.
