Today we had a blast in second grade creating turtles! Students learned about the technique to join two pieces of clay, score and slip. Then we made a clay 'pancake' aka: turtle shell, and a clay coil which was cut into 6 peices: 4 limbs and a head and tail. We joined the parts to the shell and added texture using clay tools, after they are fired we will glaze! Can't wait to see them finished!
In first grade art we learned about geometric shapes. We made a rocket out of a rectangle and triangle and created an outer space scene with painted paper! They turned out beautifully and the favorite part was adding glitter at the end ;-)
7th and 8th graders are working on a recycled art project using soda cans and acrylics! They look incredible already and we still have to make the mounting plate!
