'Tis the Season for CLAY!

I love to do clay in the fall, about this time, as the temperatures drop. We have been in school just long enough to establish a solid routine... so bring on the CLAY!!

Here is a peak at what several classes are working on.

1st & 2nd - 

Slab Owls

Focus Skills - kneading, rolling, forming shapes, adding texture, smoothing

3rd & 4th - 

Coil Turtles 

Focus Skills -kneading, rolling coils, score&slip to attach pieces, adding texture

Netx, they will be making slab containers.

7th & 8th - Mud & Fire Elective

Friendly Monsters

One of my favorite projects! Kindergarten students created drawings of "Friendly Monsters" using oil pastels and watercolor. 7th & 8th graders are turning the drawings into clay figures that they will then give to the kindergarteners. So sweet!! 

More clay to come!
