Skullduggery - Anytime Access ONLINE Art Class
For Halloween, Dia de los Muertos or Whenever
Every year I visit Mexico during Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). Not only is this a marvellous event where relatives celebrate the memories of the deceased, but it is also a chance for the living to mock the reaper. It’s a way for the living to say: “Neener, neener you haven’t got me yet”. One of the ways that Mexicans do this is with little skeletal toys known as “calacas”. Usually, they are playful scenes where the skeletons are in the engaged in everyday activities, riding bicycles, walking dogs, dancing with devils (okay, so this one is perhaps not an everyday activity). The idea is to have a little fun with one's mortality. Well, that is what we’ll be doing in class. Using doll parts, action figures, and other found objects student will create little skeletons that will tickle your funny bone.
In this class I have put together a number of projects with skullish intent. Day of the Dead scenes, transforming busts into Skellies, 3D Dia de Muertos Cabinet Cards, and more. Let’s have a little fun with the reaper.
