story hands (pre-k/K)
We’ll explore our hands and what they can do. Together we’ll use our fingers to create characters and tell stories about them. With our hands warmed up and characters created, plus some handmade transportation vehicles to help the characters get around, students will collaborate with one another to tell the original story of an adventure to find a friend in the way that they imagine it all going down.
writers and bookmaking (all grades)
Students will write and create books for short fictional stories, autobiographical accounts and/or how to manuals. Students learn multiple techniques for creating books including chapbooks, pamphlets and improvisational books made from repurposed materials. Combining content and form, students will create a small library of books of their own invention.
printmaking (all grades)
We’ll learn about prints and printmaking and then explore multiple methods of making prints including printing with objects, handmade stamps and monoprinting with plate. We’ll explore formal elements, such as shape, line, color and artist choices including balance, repetition and layering.
puppets and storytelling (all grades)
Students will learn about puppets and puppeteering skills. After practicing their new skills, students will use repurposed materials, plus their problem solving and engineering skills, to build multiple types of puppets. Once built, students will work together to animate their puppets to create a theatrical moment. In small groups, students will then write short scripts for their puppets and collaborate to perform them. The subject of student scripts can be aligned with curriculum. Classroom teachers have opted for adaptations of scenes from novels, dramatic biographical writings about contemporary or historical figures, reenactments of speeches and autobiographical personal stories that explore an assigned theme.
