An artist exploration into things with wings.
This two-day workshop takes an up-close and personal look at the unique structure of bats, bees, and butterflies, and how they fly. In the first session, students will choose one, review it’s special qualities, and make a large ‘skeleton’ using recycled products. We will then cover it with paper maché and allow to dry. During the next class, we will paint, decorate, and review options to hang the work.

Dance Kids of Monterey County was created to provide ongoing performance opportunities in dance and theater arts to the youth of Monterey County. Our mission is to strengthen character and positively influence children's lives through the performing arts.
Hijos Del Sol provides a complimentary studio space and the necessary tools and materials to complete projects and experiment with various mediums. Throughout each year, Instructors and students design collective exhibits to showcase their work. In addition to visual arts instruction, we provide ample opportunity for exploration with interdisciplinary forms; exposure to historical, contemporary, and cultural traditions; and practice with core life competencies, all while fostering the value of post- secondary education. An important strategy is to create jobs with allowance for youth apprentices that act as mentors to the next generation of up and coming young illustrators.
