Testimonial

"Having the opportunity to work with AFLCT has been truly beneficial; they've provided unique experiences that have positively impacted our students. Their professional artists are strong role-models who encouraged students to take risks, find their voices, and be confident young people. They assisted in the process of inspiring our students to discover their individual identities and be able to self-assuredly express and share their ideas and opinions."

Description

In this "feathered fun" program each student will get to create their very own bird mask using paper cutting techniques. Cardstock is the base and we can learn about geometry and shapes will cutting and creating our fine feathered friend bird masks together. The students can be inspired to recreate the image of a real bird or imagine their very own with the materials and colors present. They could learn about why birds have bright colors or can camouflage into a tree. Then we put the masks to action with a bird dance party and flocking movement exercise.

Objectives

Learning to create their own artwork by designing, drawing, cutting and constructing.
Learning through observation and imagining becoming a bird in order to better understand their lives and environment.

Note: If you pick the full day program, I can offer a virtual or in person 4 minute performance in my professional theatrical bird mask that I wear onstage to introduce my work within an introduction for a full 10-15 minutes. It would be great to talk & present to all of the classrooms before we make our own masks together.
