Second Grade Clay Islands

Second graders created these amazing clay islands in December that were inspired by Gregor Turk. We viewed artwork by Gregor Turk, read books about islands, reviewed past knowledge about islands, looked at aerial views of islands on the internet and finally discussed different ways to create texture using clay! Each island is unique with trees, rivers, volcanos and even a sand beach! Students listened to steel drums playing while working for inspiration! Many islands are displayed in the media center, so go take a look!

First grade has been working with clay to create beads formed like spheres and cubes! They have been working so hard. Their beads will be fired in the kiln for the following week and stained with paint. First graders also created a circular slab for the main focus of their necklace. Students were able to use different objects to create patterns and textures in their clay. Students will then string their clay spheres and cubes in a pattern on a colored wire along with cylinder shaped straws for spacing.
