Ages 7-11

In Art and Animals online class, we explore the natural history of animals while making our own animal art. Each class we'll study a new and special kind of animal:

- octopuses
- the Aye-aye
- wolves
- bees
- penguins
- gorillas
- harbor seals

In this class, children have fun with the idea of animals, creating their own mythological animals and real animals with their own particular adaptations. We'll do art -- making our favorite animals in soft sculpture form, using newspaper, tape, plaster strips, and fake fur. Other art projects include making animal masks, putting together costumes, and having a virtual animal ball where we celebrate and make up dances. Games we will play include selkie and wolf roleplaying. (Selkies are seals that turn into people.) It is an educational, artistic, and playful look at wild animals.
