Paper is an awesome material, sometimes fragile and delicate, other times sturdy and strong! In this trio of classes, kids will learn all sorts of paper skills to make pop-up cards, kinetic birds and a paper mache bowl. We'll use recycled paper, origami paper and magazines to make something awesome.
Class one will teach students the skill of paper engineering to create a 3D pop-up greeting card design. We will look at different folds and techniques that are used in pop-up books. Kids will be encouraged to use collages or draw a character to be placed in a 'pop' up setting whilst learning the art of paper engineering, applying geometry and angles and planning a project.
Class two will explore simple non-messy paper techniques to make small paper bowls that are decorated decoupage style. Kids will be introduced to the structural and sculptural possibilities of paper mache and cardboard.
Class three will teach children how to make cute, fun 'kinetic' rocking paper birds. This project explores concepts of balance to ensure their birds can move convincingly. We will use Australian parrots and cockatoos as inspiration for bird designs. Kids will collage and draw their birds adding to their knowledge about Australian bird life.

I have had the best life ever, following my passions. I have worked as a script editor and writer and been a course leader and senior lecturer in the UK in film and TV and before that I was an illustrator and artist.
For the last 5 years have become increasingly interested in informal learning. I run classes around Sydney in different venues and concentrate on my passion of growing succulents, art and the art of teaching. I go by the name classbunny.
