First Grade's Wild Things

After watching a video read-aloud of Maurice Sendak's "Where the Wild Things Are" our first grade artists created their own "wild things" with pattern and texture. We will be watercolor painting over the crayon images to finish them up. Stay tuned to see how they turn out!

Kindergarten Bird Nests

These little beauties were made by our kindergarten artists. The nest are made by rolling a ball of clay, making a hole with our thumbs and pinching the clay into the shape we wanted. We used forks to add texture to the nests, giving an illusion of grass or twigs. The eggs were made by rolling balls of clay and forming them into egg-shaped ovals. Blue and brown glazes finish them off with a lovely shine.

5th Grade Functional Coil Pots

Fifth graders are working hard on their clay unit, creating these functional vessels using the coil method of handbuilding. Stay tuned for pictures of the finished pieces, painted or glazed.
