Mexican Mayhem- Paper Mache Sculpture Project -8 weekly sessions

Monday 28th July- Monday 15th September

After School Art for Beehive Montessori Students

Alebrijes are vibrant, whimsical folk art sculptures of fantastical creatures, typically made from wood or paper-mache. This significant art form is often attributes to a young Mexican artist Pedrp Linares, who was sick in a coma and had a weird dream about these strange mythical creatures who chanted Alebrije, Alebrije, Alebrije and told him that it was not his time to pass. So he came back to the world of the living and remembered these fantastic creatures and started to make them. It has grown in popularity with time.

Over 8 weeks in Term 3 on a Monday, we are going to develop our gross motor skills sculpting in wire and decorating in paper mache an Alebrije form. There are endless possibilities and each student will make their own decisions about shapes, colours and patterns. First we build a base armature, then wrap it with newspaper to build the form and cover using a papier-mache technique …. Then the real fun begins with decorating and patterning in the rich, dynamic style of Mexican artwork. Kids will use posca pens, feathers, beads, materials, gems, and all sorts of mixed media to decorate.
