If you are a Wings of Fire fan, you will love this class. 6 weeks of discussion and molding a 3D map of the kingdom. Each week we will discuss a specific kingdom, the type of dragon that lives there, and create that kingdom out of salt dough. Each kingdom will be hot glued to the kingdom made the previous week until you have a full 3D model of all the Kingdoms. Class structure: Free discussion about the kingdom and dragons as we are creating a specific kingdom with salt dough. Salt dough will be mixed before classes 2-6. We will mix it together during the first class to teach how to mix it. We will paint the Kingdom created the previous week to allow time for the salt dough to properly dry and set. Week 1: Discuss and build the Ice Kingdom Week 2: Discuss and build the Sky Kingdom Week 3: Discuss and build the Kingdom of Sand Week 4: Discuss and build the Mud Kingdom and Knight Kingdom Week 5: Discuss and build the Rainforest Kingdom Week 6: Discuss and build the Kingdom of the Sea In order for this class to run smoothly, and to have a ton of fun - each student needs to arrive to class on time and prepared with supplies. Discussion is a secondary goal of this class. Creating an art mural of the Kingdoms is the primary focus.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
If you are not comfortable with your child using hot glue or a super adhesive glue on their own, you may want to assist your child if needed.
Supply List
- A base to build mural on. Options might include: very sturdy cardboard, plastic plexiglass, wood - Salt dough supplies: bag of flour, water, salt, cream of tartar We will be making a sizable mural. Roughly 25"x33" I would recommend purchasing 1-2 bags of flour, 2-8c of salt, 4-8 TBS of cream of tarter. This should be plenty but if your child has a spill, uses more dough (which is fine) - you may have to purchase more. - Acrylic paint, brushes, paper towels, water. Colors are what you prefer. -Optional tools: tools to sculpt salt dough - Strong adhesive glue or hot glue gun and high temp glue sticks (not cool sticks) Please note that the sculpting is base on your child's imagination. We all visualize fantasy books differently and hopefully we will see that when we all showcase our maps at the end. I do not want the students to create my personal visualization so it will be up to your child to get creative.
