Nerding: Mythical Forest – Art and Engineering

Step into a glowing world of creativity where art, engineering, and imagination collide! Young adventurers will explore the traits of mythical creatures while learning essential art concepts and techniques through hands-on projects. As we journey through the forest, we’ll experiment with watercolor techniques, study the features of dragons and use oil pastels to draw and paint baby dragons, build a neon glowing paper sculpture of the Mythical Forest, create wearable unicorn horns or goblin ears, design neon symmetrical butterflies that glow under black light, construct a troll and engineer a home for it, and sculpt your own mythical creature using tin foil armatures and paper mache clay. Through storytelling and hands-on exploration, kids will develop their art skills, discover new materials, and bring their imaginations to life. Don’t forget to dress for mess – in the Mythical Forest, creativity knows no bounds!   Grades 1 - 3 June 8 - 12
