Ever wanted to make a card or a book with moving parts or images that pop up? This is the class for you! In this class we will begin by creating a series of painted papers to use in collaboration to create animals and bugs in the style of artist and illustrator Steve Jenkins. We will then create a page layout as a background and add our animals and bugs as pop up and / or movable illustrations! Lots of painting, cutting, and gluing!

Get ready to be creative and be messy! This class is a lot of fun. We will create an armature for our creature, cover it in a couple of layers of paper mache, and add details in paper mache clay. Finally we will complete our sculptures by painting them in acrylic based paints. It is important to dress for the mess in this class.

I'd love to come back and live in Lafayette for a week so my girls could do this. I am seriously considering it for next summer! I love that you are still doing this.
