Classroom project requested by Mrs. Short on Jun 21, 2012

Do you remember what it was like the first time you touched clay in art class? Well for most of you and most of my students the only place they will get to touch clay is in art class. Creating objects out of this sticky gooey substance is one of the oldest forms of art known to mankind.
I am requesting 14 boxes of clay and one classroom set of gloss glazes. I will still have to order other supplies on my own but this will be the bulk of what my students will need to get creative with clay this year. Each grade level will do a different clay project based on the elements and principles of art. They will learn about kilns, kiln furniture, cones, the stages of clay, the magic color changing ability of glazes, and clay tools. Some students will even get to assist me in loading and unloading the kiln.

It's clay time!
For the past few weeks we have been working on clay projects. The students are working on glazing right now. Here are a few pics from the kiln I opened this morning....it's like
christmas morning for art teachers :-)
This kiln has been running non stop for a month! The kids made 600 artworks that have to go in the kiln twice....... can't wait to see what these artworks look like in the morning!

3rd Grade at the Beach!
The 3rd graders have studied the art of the American Painter Georgia O'Keeffe. She studied items from nature and created very beautiful artworks from them.
You can view 3 of her paintings at the Indianapolis Museum of art.
Here is one of them....
You can find more information about her works at the museum by following this link....
a family day at the IMA would be lots of fun!
The students observed real seashells and created salt textured paintings from them! Great work!
