For the last two weeks some of the students have been working with clay.
Since we did not have a kiln we had some unfortunate accidents.
The students learned that, while in the process of creating art, little accidents can often turn into great successes.
Student comment: "I made a person".
Student comment: "This mannequin is happy".
Student comment: "I made a tall cactus".
The cactus part was originally a second pinch pot that broke.
Student comment: " We will never know if he likes orange and red".
Student comment: "The big rock is resting after a thunderstorm".
Student comment: "My mannequin is dancing".
The balancing act.
Student comment: " I glued the pieces and made a dinosaur".
Another happy accident.
I especially appreciate your taking the time to chronicle the students comments. That makes me feel as though I am genuinely standing over your shoulder!!! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteHard to pick a favorite, but I'd choose "Balancing Act" if given only one vote.
Happy summer!
