Explore Clay Day

 

Exploring Clay

Artists have made art out of clay for a very long time, and have made many different kinds of objects using their hands to pinch, pull, poke and smooth the clay.



How can you use your hands to change the shape of clay?



  1. Distribute Clay 
  2. Students explore squeezing, poking, and pinching and pulling the clay.
  3. Questions/Observations:
    How is clay similar/different than play-doh?
    Compare how it looks, feels, and smells.

Part II. Making and Joining forms


  1. Demonstrate how to make a few simple forms
  2. Show students how to temporarily join the forms by pressing the clay together.
  3. Have students make an object.
