This was my 5th and final year doing a summer fellowship at the Community Arts Center in Wallingford. (Last because my kids have finally outgrown the program and it's too much of a commute from Philly to continue on my own.) For this project, we first read about folktales and myths featuring dragons and looked at different depictions of dragons from around the world. I had the campers draw dragons into foam sheets to make prints, and also each age group worked on a collaborate dragon collograph print for the accordion book that went on display at the end of the week.
I'm very proud of all the great projects I did not only through these five fellowship projects, but also as a lead instructor with mostly 4th-6th graders, as well as instructing special classes in polymer clay to all ages, as well as Animal Drawing and Intro to Printmaking to teens. It's been a memorable decade with so many amazing students and fellow art educators.
