Creating in the third dimension is important for artists of all ages. We will use paper mache, over an “armature” to build an unusually creative animal form. Imaginations will fly as our unique critters grow and take shape. Emphasis will be placed on creating a special personality that appears to be moving.

This FUN and CREATIVE class starts with a wooden spoon. Clay is added to form a face on the spoon’s back. With paper sculpturing techniques a body is added. All of this leads to a creative sculpture of a character that has a personality unique to the maker. These in-the-round sculptures usually become cherished keepsakes.

It is unusual, but not uncommon, for an artist to paint a frame that matches a painting. Examples of this can be found in the art galleries of Geneseo. On this Saturday students will have the opportunity to paint a creative image on a canvas board; but then a frame will be added and participants will be directed on the different ways in which a painted frame will support their original art concept.

In this unusual sculpture class participants will start with an origami foundation for their artwork. Then we will focus on exciting and creative ways to build a sculpture that has a flowing “fountain-like” design with an imaginative spark of color. Our young artists will be mesmerized by the beautiful 3D line that is created by using special paper construction techniques.
