The Huichol are an indigenous people of Mexico. They are well known for the vibrant beauty of their art and weaving. In this unique class we will look at Huichol yarn painting and then create our own unique image in yarn.

This seasonal project will be in graphite...but not just pencil. Using powdered graphite our students will discover that erasing the graphite can be just as important as adding more to the drawing surface. Creative Halloween imagery will suddenly appear as our students learn to both add and subtract from their inventive drawings.

Halloween is coming soon, and for the special occasion we will bring out the creative monster maker in each of our participants. Building a Monster Box from air-dried clay and mixed media is a fun way to celebrate the season. The resulting art projects will open so that the hidden Halloween storage container is revealed.
