This 90 minute workshop is based on the 18th century traditional wrap doll art form rooted in African American culture. Students are taught the basic techniques necessary to create their own three dimensional characters. This modern adaptation of the art form challenges the students to think outside of the box during the design and construction based on the recyclable materials provided. During the program, the teaching artists lead discussions on the environment, bullying, art history or African American culture based on the needs of the teacher/students.
