Masks and Wings!

These beautiful masks were made during the Masks and Wings class on Tuesdays.  They are mixed media (buttons, glitter, feathers and fabric…all of the good stuff!)  Next class we are going to fit the masks to each childs head.  Can’t wait to see them on!

Creature and Monster again…

Collaborative Collage Creature

Yesterday during our Creatures and Monsters class we created a large 5 foot tall collaged creature named Joe. Out of a hat, each child drew a different body part they were in charge of creating to make Joe. We looked through magazines to find textures that we like, then cut out the body shapes. The child responsible for making the hands had to talk to the child making the legs to know how many to make. This also went for hands and arms, necks and head and heads and hats!!! It was a true collaboration!

Magnet Monster

After we were finished creating Joe, we moved on to smaller creatures on magnets. Each child got to create different creatures by combining body parts that they had drawn, colored and then cut out of a soft magnet material. These creatures can be rearranged as well as holding up important information on your refrigerator.
