Monsters and Clay

The first graders have started a unit on imaginary creatures.  They just finished creating alien monster collages by cutting various shapes.  This was a great opportunity to use up some of the many paper scraps that we have been storing up in the art room. 





 Most of the art room has been an explosion of clay lately.  The 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders have all made a clay piece in the last 2 weeks.  Let's just say that I'm quickly running out of storage space to dry everything!  Below are pictures of the pieces before they've been fired in the kiln.  The projects include frogs, castles, flowers, and food.  After the pieces are fired we will glaze them so that they are brightly colored and have a glassy surface.
