Mothman. Bigfoot. Chupacabra. The Fresno Nightwalkers. In this
class, we'll dive into the belief, hope, and curiosity that drives
modern folklore. Examining cryptozoology from a pop culture and
anthropological standpoint, we'll explore our internal wildernesses
and create a cryptid of our own.
Examining cryptozoology from a pop culture and anthropological
standpoint, we'll learn about:
- current artists who are creating surreal creatures
- cryptids of the internet age
-
the almost exclusively white preoccupation with the hunt for proof
- the psychology of curiosity
- our own internal wildernesses
and we'll wrap up the workshop by creating cryptids of our own!
