🌟 New to Outschool? Use code CREATIVE20 to save $20 on this class! 🌟 We will be discussing the characteristics of our weekly dragon and decide which aspects and positions would best benefit our sculptures. Possibly adding in extra accessories, like a pet (Silver the sloth, Talkatoo the cockatoo), scrolls, etc. This is not necessarily a "step by step" sculpting class, although students may follow along with me as I am sculpting. It is helpful for students to have some knowledge of the Book Series and the clay medium as well.

For Wings of Fire Chapter Book and Graphic Novel fans, we will discuss what we know about each dragon prior to sculpting. No knowledge of the material is necessary. Students may wish to just join in to learn about all the different types of dragons and sculpt some pretty cool characters. We will work through The Dragonet Prophecy (first set of books), The Jade Mountain Prophecy, The Lost Continent Prophecy, plus Wings of Fire Legends, Queens and more!
