Description:
Unicorns, Yetis, & Dragons...OH MY!
Who doesn't want to live in a world filled with magical myths and legendary creatures! Drawing on children's wild imaginations and notable mythology from around the world, students will explore the worlds of fantastical beasts such as Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot and leprechauns... are these beings just storied characters or is there truth to their existence, once upon a time! This class incorporates mythology, fantasy, creative projects and activities that will connect traditions and symbolism to understand how different social meanings are embedded in make-believe. Students will take what they have learned from all these unique species and to create-their-own-creature by session's end.
This is a multidisciplinary class that will have elements of theatrical and group games and improv, movement and mindfulness, a bit of STEAM, visual arts & crafts. We aim to end the session with Creature Feature Celebration!
