What would your artful superpower be?
Get ready to team up with your friends and MCASD educators in an awesome showdown for the fate of the museum–an art collision between Heroes and Monsters. Spend the week designing your own Hero and Monster inspired by the Museum's collection:
Learn how to use art for good by developing your own art superpowers.
Create a persona by dawning masks and capes influenced by Nick Cave.
Use John Baldessari's conceptual powers to fight "Boring Art."
Schedule
Day 1: Start the week by imagining your superhero, or good-monster alter-ego, and its artful superpowers! Then, create your helmet.
Day 2: Make your shield and cape and create dice to guide your way.
Spend the rest of the week creating instruments and tools that help build a superhero, art-filled universe filled with magic and spells of your making!
