Do you love dragons, monsters, and other crazy creatures?  In this fun ongoing class, we will learn to sculpt a new mythological creature each class. Each sculpture will be free standing and will stand 2-3 inches tall. Students will be free to chat and interact socially. When time permits, we will discuss the origins of these monsters and/or any other classroom-appropriate topic of interest.

**This is first and foremost a sculpting class. This class does not include a story time component, so while we may briefly discuss each character, this class is best used as a supplement for students who are already familiar with Greek mythology. Many of the stories of these characters contain violence and other components that may be scary for younger learners.**

I recommend polymer clay for each project; however, students are welcome to use air dry clay or even play-doh if that is all they have available. Students will be given step-by-step verbal and visual instructions with on how to construct each character, but individual creativity and artistic expression is allowed. The difficulty of this class can be rated as beginner-plus. Beginners are welcome, but younger students and those who have never worked with clay may need some parental assistance during their first few classes. Some students may want to spend extra time outside of class adding the finer details and accessories to their figures.
