At the end of a very successful Stars On Stage, the Year 7 & 8 kids and I had a few weeks before the term ended. What to do? Brenda Nyhof who runs a sketching workshop in the Allen
Centre, offered to facilitate a master class where the children could build
their own creatures by using Papier and Cloth- Mache techniques. These works are based on the Artist Dan
Reeder, who is famous for stunning monsters and dragons. The creations where
very much a work in progress, as the children had to revisit ideas, and problem
solve through many features of their design. These works very much reflect the
artist as an individual. See below what results you can have, if you just go with it and see what happens!!
This is the book that we based our creations on.
This is Brenda with some of her amazing creations!
Here are some photos of us during the process, and some of the finished products. Thanks so much to Brenda - your are not only an amazing and talented artist, but a skilled facilitator able to inspire and create confidence. The children and I had a ball!
Legs, Body Parts, Eyeballs, and Teeth!
