4/5 Clay Face Vases and Tiny Houses

4/5 students working on hand building with clay. They are making coil pots with relief sculpted faces on the front. After glazing, students will find plants that accentuate an aspect of the face they made. The plant will look like hair. 

These students are woking on slab building small houses.

4/5 Vote Posters

VOTE Nov. 6, 2012
                                                           

Students in the 4/5 art classes looked at nonpartisan posters encouraging citizens to vote. We looked at the time line of voting rights. It was surprising to some that wide spread voting rights were not enjoyed by many until fairly recent history. Students made nonpartisan posters to encourage people to get out and vote.

4/5 Sculpture with White Clay

October 22, 2012 was week #2 working with clay. This week students had a choice of what they could create with clay. We are working toward building skills in the use of clay to make a larger sculptural portrait. Students will use techniques of creating a coil pot and then attaching clay by slipping and scoring to connect facial features to the pot.

4/5 Terra Cotta Clay Tiles

Students in the 4/5 classes begin work with clay. Terra cotta clay is a red earthenware clay that when fired loos like red clay pots. Clay tile work allows students to build skills; wedging and prepping clay, working with tools, measuring for size, getting thickness correct, and drawing or creating relief designs on the surface.

K/1 & 2/3 Paper Pumpkins

There's noting quite as fun as a great Halloween craft!

K/1 & 2/3 students made dozens of paper pumpkins and Jack-O-Lanterns during art studio this week. Many students expanded on the work by making tiny ones, larger ones, yellow, green and brown ones. There were vines and leaves and even one marionette pumpkin that sings opera.
