This is a one-session class that will end with each student having created their own dragon eye masterpiece that pops up! I will lead students through step by step directions to fold their dragon eye. Then students will learn blending techniques to make their colors glow and give their dragon eye a realistic look. Throughout the process students are encouraged to add their own creative touches and make choices unique to their artworks. As students work, I always make sure to provide feedback, encouragement, and additional instructions as needed. If time allows, at the end of class our young artists will have the opportunity to share their artwork with their classmates. **Although each demonstration will be finished by the end of class, students may want to continue working on their masterpieces after we have signed off for the day. Everyone works at a different speed, and it's better to take our time than to rush! Supplies Needed: -Square white paper (ex: 8.5x8.5", 9"x9" - plain white printer/copy or regular drawing paper cut to size is perfect; if you only have rectangular paper I can demonstrate how to turn it into a square) -Crayons -Black fine point Sharpie permanent marker -Pencil and eraser **You may also want a piece of poster board or large paper to cover the work area as the permanent marker may bleed through.
Learning Goals
- Students will learn the basics of origami paper folding techniques.
- Students will learn to blend colors to make a realistic look in their artwork.

Parental Guidance
We will be using Sharpie markers which are permanent on most surfaces and may seep through paper. Please make sure your student is drawing on an area that is covered to protect their work surface from permanent marker.
