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 - 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 ...............

ELEMENTS of ART - Worksheet Booklet for Kindy, Year 1 and Year 2 students

Image
    I have accepted a temporary position in a primary school teaching visual arts two days this year, so I decided to put together some little worksheet/booklets for my students.    Some of the worksheets are information only, while others are interactive where students can show their understanding by completing simple little tasks that relate to that particular element.    Until the Term gets into swing (which I'm sure will not take long), these little booklets will fill in nicely. Feel free to use them They are in jpeg format. I included some literacy and some expressive writing opportunities. Some of the pages were created by me, others are combinations of images from free-to-use worksheets, free-to-use images and free clip art found on Pinterest.
