They will explore the fundamentals of art making (line, form, color, depth and perspective) and create one artwork each day. They will discover new methods of working with a wide range materials - color, fabric, clay, cardboard, beads, foil, wires, wood and much more. Through demonstration and hands on practice the students will also learn to manipulate and combine different material together to design and construct at least two unique puppets of their own to take home!
