Papier Mache:
Roll up your sleeves - we're about to make a mask...a big bug...some cool shades...the sky is the limit! Papier mache offers endless possibilities for students to expand their artistic horizons and develop their spacial relations skills while inducing extensive student interaction. Course study is integrated with the adaptable medium of papier mache and its associated finishing techniques.
This highly tactile experience also includes creative painting and multi media. The students become totally absorbed in a therapeutic and very rewarding exercise. It is a fun filled, hands on activity which involves the entire school. The young artists have a display of work and celebration for the grande finale.
