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. 2024 Class Schedule: January 22-28: Zeus January 29-February 4: Medusa February 5-11: Pegasus February 12-18: Nemean Lion February 19-25: Cyclops February 26-March 3: Minotaur March 4-10: Icarus March 11-17: NO CLASS THIS WEEK!

The best type of clay for this project is polymer, or oven-bake, clay. I recommend this sculpt and bake kit. It is great for beginners and has tons of useful tools and colors. It also contains many eye pins for making your sculpture hangable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HQGP98D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_AmHIFbYBCEMC6 I have also used this smaller kit, and it is also excellent: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WJ41L9Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_loHIFb4A7W25F You are welcome to use any clay you'd like, but the larger set is the set we'll be working with in class. Bake at 260-275° under a foil tent for 25-30 minutes. After the timer stops, turn off the oven and leave your creation inside for 20-30 minutes to prevent rapid cool down. When clay cools too fast, it can crack. Parchment paper to cover your workspace Saran wrap Zipper bags (I recommend snack bags) Toothpicks If you do are not buying the above set, you will also need these: Clay - You may use white clay, but we will not be painting in class. I recommend pre-colored clay. Toothpicks Sculpting tools (suggested but not required) Paring knife or exacto knife. Other good brands of polymer clay include: Sculpey Premo, Sculpey Souflee, Fimo, and Kato. Sculpey III is ok to use, but it is quite brittle and fragile after baking. If your student plans on playing with his or her creation, I do not recommend Sculpey III.

Hello, parents!
My name is Christina Broadway, and I am so excited to meet your student! My older kids and young adults usually call me Ms. Broadway or "Ms. B." To the littles I'm typically known as "Ms. Christina."
I graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in English, and I'm working to earn Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction. Over the past 15 years, I have taught preschool, middle school, and high school children. I have taught online for almost 3 years. To say teaching is my calling is an understatement; I am a teacher at heart and it colors every aspect of my life.
My husband and I live on the Texas coast and love to fish, play board games, and travel.
My love for teaching began with English and Language Arts. Ironically, when I was in grade school, I found English to be very boring and rigid; however, when I got to college, I took some English courses that opened my eyes to how fun language and literature can be! I realized that while literacy and language art skills are important for social, academic, and vocational purposes, they can also be an avenue for creativity and artistic expression. I strive to make my classes both challenging and fun. Most of all, I always try to teach literature and grammar in a way that will be useful and meaningful to my students throughout their lives.
Finally, I am an artist. I am a self-taught baker, sculptor, and painter. (I have even painted some classic works of art ON CAKE!) I believe art is a valuable tool for cultivating self-expression, analytical skills, and emotional health. Children who participate in art and music programs are statistically more likely to perform better in their core subjects. As a result, I love connecting with students through art. I strive to make my art classes accessible for learners of all skill levels and abilities. I am truly amazed by what children are capable of when we give them the guidance and opportunity.
Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me. I hope to see you soon!
-Christina
