They created their pinch pots and glazed the inside in the same class period. Once the pots were fired, they painted symbols and cherry blossoms on the outside of the pot.

2nd grade learned about Koi fish, studying their shape, color, and symbolism in the Japanese culture. They created them out of clay using a coil technique. 3rd Grade Clay CastlesThey used a slab technique with a template that they created. They added texture to create a stone effect.
Claes Oldenburg is one of my all-time favorite artists! His sculptural style is pop art and installation, all rolled into one! He's a student favorite as well :) We began by studying some of his more famous sculptures from around the world. Spoonbridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota is one of his more famous sculptures in the US. The photo of his pie sculpture below inspired our clay pies. The students worked in pairs to roll their slabs and cut their crust pieces. Then they were on their own to score, slip and stuff their pies!
