CLAY AND PLASTELLINA

This week was dedicated to sculpting with soft materials. First (after warming up with crayons on large paper), we made plastellina images in CD cases. In an clear, empty CD case (the ones we are ready to recycle) make with different colored plastellina "flat" sculptures, so when you close the case you have a frame. This can be a great project to take on a long carride, since you have a base to work on.

For the second part of the session, we made clay sculptures. Some younger kids were hesitant to touch it at first, but after they tried, they loved it as well. I suggested we make pinch pots, but everyone was free to create what they wished. And they wished gardens, with glitter, LOTS of glitter.
