Club de Arte 2.03: Superhero Tools


THEME OF WEEK 2:03:  My Superhero's Tools
and the Charlotte Miller Art Project in Guayaquil, Ecuador

IDEA AND AIMS:  For the children to imagine what tools their superhero or super-heroine character needs to be able to achieve his or her mission, and to create these physically to be a part of their costume.

PROCESS:
1.  Facilitators pre-cut a variety of cardboard tool shapes (see the photo below).
2. Children choose which tool design they would like to create from the range of examples.   For those that have handles the children use scraps of coloured paper to fill clear plastic bottles, then add the cardboard tool with tape and silicone, and decorate with tin-foil or shiny papers, Fomix and coloured tapes.  For wrist-attached tools, the children use toilet rolls as the base of their tool, attaching the tool head with silicone and tape and decorating as above.



MATERIALS: Empty, washed plastic bottles, toilet roll tubes, cardboard, scalpel, scissors, silicone, masking tape, colourful electrical tapes, permanent markers, tinfoil, shiny papers, colour-coded scraps of a variety of papers, colourful Fomix.
