(Pr-K) Clay experiments


Introducing young children to clay is so much fun.
We discussed how to create flat shapes, coils and textures.
The students had the choice to create people or an abstract composition.

We used acrylic paint to decorate our artwork. 





Student comment: "This looks like my father; he has a big nose."


Student comment: "I am a ballerina."


The broken pieces taught us the art of restoration.  





Student comment:  "I kicked the ball."

  7. It's nice, very nice to find blogs like this one. I think I've checked it all, and I must express my admiration for this awsome work that has been done with kids. I experienced this strange need to go running and giving life to all sort of ideas that came up with, by taking a look at this beautiful art. I think I'll start using more different materials... got tempted. I saw also the peaceful and free look in the eyes of your children... it means a lot... they've enjoyed it all. (I was wondering what's the music that joins the welcome video?) Well, congratulations for your job.
