Here are some of the clay creations from the last couple weeks!
Still life drawings
Today the students in art club pulled from an assortment of random items to set up their own still life scenes. What sort of scene would you create with the following objects?
- a lime
- a hawk feather
- a small ceramic pitcher
- a globe
- a wooden rabbit
- a glass bottle
- an assortment of bracelets
- tubes of paint
- two cactus plants
- a wooden scooping spoon
- an alarm clock
- a candlestick
- a spool of thread
- a plush felt crow
- a twig
Meet the Puppets!
We finished up our puppets in art club today and watch out, they're dangerously cute!
Here is our fancy unicorn:
And here we have an adorable blue-eyed panda bear:
And this is not just any bird, it is very specifically a Cedar Waxwing (this kindergartener knows his birds!):
These friends are joined by a fearsome fire-breathing dragon:
And a lovable rainbow-colored dog:
And last but not least, an elegant yet sassy woodland deer:
This project involved many types of art-making. We used sculptural techniques to build the armatures for our puppets, then we used paper mache to make them solid. The following week, once they were fully dry, we used several layers of paint, and also did some simple sewing to create their "clothing". Once the puppets were dry and clothed, they quickly found their voices and became friends with one other (which was truly fun to see)!
