Textures in Clay
I just opened the kiln to find these beautiful textured clay slabs made by Kindergarten students!

Students studied properties of clay, form, texture, and pattern. The clay slabs were fired in the kiln to harden them, glazed, and fired again.

Winter Tree Prints
Third grade students have been creating winter tree prints. After studying the positive and negative space in trees students used poster board to create a printing plate. Students created three prints: a dark color on light paper, white on black paper, and an experimental rainbow roll.
Finally, students labeled their prints with the edition number, title, and signature.
Currently students are using their printing plate to create a relief sculpture. Photos to come!

Goldfish Still-life
Check out these fabulous first grade still-life pictures! Students studied French artist Henri Matisse and his use of color and pattern. Students used a combination of painting and paper cutouts as Matisse did throughout his life.
