May was all about imagination, creature mechanics and legendary beasts at Upchuckle Education here in Barrie! Our Wednesday after-school students (ages 7–13) took on the challenge of developing their very own mythical creatures from scratch.

To bring these concepts to life, these young artists practiced fundamental skills like animal anatomy, principles of design, light and shadow and visual storytelling while exploring new methods and tools. This gallery highlights their creative exploration, unique ideas, fun memories and the imaginative new worlds they developed this month.

Take a look through the student portfolio below to see their concepts taking shape!
