Our clay unit has begun and students have learned how clay is formed and where it is found in the earth. May students have shared that they have found clay in their own backyards! We worked with spheres to hand build our snowmen. The concepts of scoring and slipping the clay were also introduced in this unit. Students are excited to glaze their snowmen..to make them shiny! We are currently studying the artwork of Vincent van Gogh and will be creating the "Snowy Starry Night" to house our snowmen...hopefully they will make it home in one piece!
