Kindergarten - Unit 2 - Clay Owls

For the next part of the project, the students created an owl using clay.  They learned about the properties of clay and view works of pottery and ceramic sculpture to learn more about the artistic possibilities of the medium. Next, they took what they learned from Part 1 about the shapes and patterns that can be used to draw an owl and used that knowledge to recreate their owl using clay. Once the clay was dried and fired in the kiln, the students painted the owls black and use oil pastels to add color.
