Students will be drawn into the amazing three - dimensional world of pop-up art in this 5-10 day residency.
Our artist, Howard Berelson, will introduce students to the Paper Engineered Book, featuring examples of the work of Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart, renowned children’s book authors, illustrators and paper engineers.
While engaging the students in this fascinating art, Mr. Berelson will also partner with teachers to use the residency as a springboard to integrate and infuse class curriculum.
In hands-on workshops students will be led to invent and develop their own imagery. Then, through a series of cuts and folds, participants will create their own paper-engineered page.
Less comprehensive, 2-3 day residencies are also available, as are workshops for younger grades using sequential, step-by-step instruction and pre-printed guides
Grades 4-12 & Adult
Curriculum Connections: Language Arts, Social Studies, & Theater Arts |  | Printmaking | Students will use a portable press to roll out pictures and explore the colorful world of prints and printmaking. Participants will explore four different methods: Monotype: textured painting on glass plates that students will put through the press Relief Printmaking: Styrofoam trays become printing plates and reverse prints are made either with the press or hand rubbing Collograph: Both relief printmaking and Intaglio will be examined in this class as students build a plate Gyotaku: The ancient Japanese art of “fish printing” will be discussed and then practiced. Students will select a Japanese character representing “love”, “luck” or “good fortune” to place a final signature on their print The history and cultural aspects of printmaking will also be explored. Grades 4-12 & Adult |  | Puppetry or Maskmaking | Puppets and masks have historically been used to create the “other voice.” Students will enter an imaginative world of personal discovery to create complex masks or puppets in these hands-on workshops. Comprehensive, 5-10 day residencies are conducted by artist Howard Berelson, with the collaboration of teachers. Maskmaking will incorporate the historical and social context of masks, and allow students to express feelings, thoughts and ideas through the masks they create. Puppetry will have students developing characters, understanding how to manipulate puppets and building fully articulated puppets that may be used in a classroom presentation. Less intensive 2-3 day residencies are also available, as are workshops for younger grades using less complex materials and concepts to build a simple puppet or mask. Grades 4-12 & Adult
