Taco Fish???


You've never heard of a taco fish? Our second grade artists will be starting their clay projects in the next couple of weeks and they will be making these cute little sea creatures. We start with a flat, round, slab of clay and fold it like a taco. Sealing the top edges closed, we leave a big hole for the mouth at the front. We add eyes, fins, and some texture patterns to finish them off and then into the kiln they go. Finished fish will be painted with bright colors to "bring them to life." Student examples to follow...
