3rd graders completed their clay project. They look great!! These beautiful ceramic flowers started out as just slabs of clay, but my students quickly tranformed them.
 |
| First we drew a flower template and traced it onto the slab. |
 |
| We carfully cut them out. |
 |
| After adding some texture to create detail, we gently laid them in a bowl form to shape them. |
 |
| Hard working artists. |
 |
| They looked pretty great already... but we aren't done yet! |
 |
| After the clay dried out completely (this takes 1-2 weeks), Ms. May fired them in the kiln. |
 |
| Now they are ready to paint! |
 |
| We used watercolor to paint them, and then applied Mod Podge over the top. |
 |
| The flowers are currently part of a lovely spring time display in the downstairs case. Come by and see them! |
 |
| 3rd graders helped me with the display by creating some oil pastel leaves. |
 |
| Great job 3rd graders! |
