1. Design and Drawing Classes

2. Back in Medieval times, very few people traveled outside of the village they were born into. When those who did travel came back home and described the creatures they had seen in far-away places, people had no idea what they looked like. So, they created books of…

3. These creatures were based partially on the descriptions of travelers, and were partially made-up

5. Also known as a Bestiary, the Bestiarum Vocabulum was a compilation of beasts created in Medieval times. We are going to create our own Bestiary as a class, and each of you will make your own page (and your own creature!). Your creatures may be real or imagined, and may be as spooky as you would like to make them.

6. Either create a beastie from the list (you get to decide what it looks like) OR create a beastie of your own You must make your creature fill the page (no itty-bitty beasties) You may use whatever materials you want from what Ms. Stephenson has put out (pencil, colored pencil, Sharpies, etc.) Give your beastie page a nice border – decorate it! Write your beastie’s name and a short description on the page (so we know what we’re looking at) Keep in your locker/sketchbook at the end of class
