CLAY WORK - Pinch Pot Monster - Years 3 and 4

Image
   Later on this week, I will be doing an all-day art lesson with a Year 4 class. I have taught this class many times, they are a great bunch of little people and we have a great rapport.    It is because of this that I decided to do clay work with them, teaching them the basic construction techniques - pinch pots, slabs and coils.    I saw on Pinterest, the work of Dean DeRosso (hope I spelt that right) and immediately though of my Year 4 kids. They will love making their own little clay monsters.    I have made up some teaching resources with information to help the students better understand how to make a pinch pot and included an example of a monster created by Dean DeRosso.    In case we finish up early, I have also made a simple art appreciation/evaluation worksheet and a drawing worksheet. Feel free to use them if they suit your needs.     Pics of student's work to come ...............

TEACHING RESOURCE - CLAY WORK BOOKLET - BASIC INFORMATION

Image
   I put together a booklet for the staff of the primary school I work in. They were wanting to learn about clay and some ideas of what they could do with their students.    Following are pages from the booklet in jpeg format. Feel free to use it or any part of it. I collected information and ideas from Pinterest and there is no intention of claiming any of the ideas or sculpture works as my own. Full credit goes to those talented and creative people who created them, including Kimmy Cantrell .  I have included my own clay work relief sculpture plate at the end......               I will be adding more ideas to this booklet as I come across them....

CLAY WORK INSTRUCTIONS - How to Make a Relief Sculpture Plate in Air Dry Clay

Image
TEACHING RESOURCES: I found most of the resources on Pinterest and organised them to suit my needs and those of the students.     We talked about the different types of sculpture and how 3D artworks are different to 2D artworks.   I then spoke to them about the limitations of handling air dry clay - over handling it will cause the clay to dry out quite quickly. Students are always so tempted to play with pieces of clay!!!   We looked at the different types of construction methods and I explained how they would be using slabs, coils and pinch pots to make their relief sculpture. By this stage, the students were so excited so we started straight away. No point in dragging it out...     INSTRUCTIONS: 1. We covered our mould (plastic plate) with Cling Wrap to stop the clay from sticking to it. 2. Make sure each student has newspaper to work on. If not, the clay will stick to the desk. I also put plastic table cloths on all the table...
