Folklore & Mythology
 
From Ancient Greeks to the Norse Gods, from Elves to pixies to werewolves and vampires, from King Arthur to the legend of Atlantis, we’ll explore all parts of the myths, legends, and the fantastical worlds we all love! Designed to complement courses such as Captivating Characters, Drawing & Design Studio, and Legendary Lands, this class strengthens connections between mythology, storytelling, character creation, and the development of imaginative worlds.
 
Outcomes:
We’ll see how the view of the world changed through the centuries by learning about its mythology. This class is all about the ancient stories we told each other to help us understand the world we lived in, and how these stories can and do relate to our world today.
 
Class Activities:
read and comment on mythological tales, folklore, and other readings
create their own mythological traditions
write their own folklore and fairytales
dive deep into what makes folklore and mythology what they are
presentations and group projects
a whole lot of exciting class discussion!
 
Materials:
All materials will be provided.
