The 4th Grade has been busy too. They've worked with clay and chalk pastels.
The clay project allowed to students to explore their own creativity. The basic form was a pinch pot. They could then add elements to transform their pinch pots into animals. (originally these were suggested to be Thanksgiving Turkeys, but my timing was off). They needed to demonstrate good attaching skills or the pieces would fall apart in the kiln.
Then the students painted their creatures, paying special attention to complete coverage. Aren't these fantastic!!!
The students also worked with chalk pastels to create the northern lights. Using ripped construction paper and chalk pastels, these students lit up the skies. They could decide what was going on in the foreground as the lesson really focused on exploring the new chalk technique.
