3/6 R has been enjoying the opportunity to sculpt. We chose to experiment with air-dry clay and make some monster pots. First, we learned how to make a slab and cut it to geometric dimensions. Then we learned how to 'glue', fold and blend layers of clay to add to the wanted forms. We also experimented with texture, and used various sculpting tools to create different effects on our monsters. Then we talked about comical elements of facial expression, and how to exaggerate them for effect. Next week we will be painting them, and posting final pictures. We hope to explore many other possibilities in the future for sculpting.
