Molding Myths: Legends in Clay
Emily Katebini
Tuition $598

Step into a world where legends come alive and creativity knows no limits! In this exciting workshop, young artists explore mythical tales from around the globe and bring them to life through hands-on art-making. For the first two days, kids dive into the basics of clay sculpting, molding expressive figures and creatures inspired by stories of legendary heroes, gods, and magical beings. As the week unfolds, we expand our materials to include papier mâché, paint, and found objects, allowing students to craft larger-than-life elements from these myths. By the end of the week, each child creates a collection of vibrant artworks inspired by tales from Ancient Greece, Native American traditions, Oceania, and more. Join us as we transform ancient stories into captivating works of art!

Kinetic energy shapes the world of art! Let’s explore the forces of flight, engineer bridges, and delve into the cultural significance of the passageways we create for the mechanics of movement. We use tissue paper, dowels, and toothpicks to build structures of flight, recycled materials to develop bridges, print-making to represent significant trails, and more. By blending technology, design, and artistic expression we capture movement in creative ways from print-making to sculpture. Get ready to pioneer new paths and bring the energy of motion to life.
