I know, I know, owls are so trendy these days. But I saw this example on Pinterest (artsmudge.com) and thought they were a perfect way for my second graders to graduate from the pinch pot to a more modeled form with texture and surface design (slab building is also in the curriculum, but I have something else up my sleeve for that one). Opening the kiln today was so exciting, because this little group of "hoot owls" (as my grandma used to say) were so full of personality. Looking at photos…

I can't wait to write about our Art Teacher Exchange 2017. Sue Davies from Rogers Elementary came over to Hassan for a week. She taught clay because I'm allergic and I taught her kids Spheros. She did some great projects with my students and she was kind enough to share her videos with all of us. For first-grade students created a 'Clay-d-bug'. We did these last year, but this year we changed it up just a bit. Here are the two videos that we shared with our students before the Art Teacher…

In second grade our students learn about birds. Each student is assigned a particular bird to research and create a board game. I was looking on Pinterest one day and found these really cute clay birds. Here is the link to the Etsy site: http://www.etsy.com/listing/120121796/sale-clay-bird-sculpture-turquoise.

Here is a fun and easy project that I taught to my 2nd graders. We used regular firing clay and gloss glazes. Here is a video I made for my students to demo how to make the wall hangings. This was before I got my new camera so the quality isn’t as great. Cassie Stephens has done a similar wall hanging project with just the initials. Next year, I might try that!

Miss Lee on Instagram: "Found some time in between classes to do some test samples. And we’re studying Jeff Koons next… 🎈 I wanted to teach these with ceramic clay but the body parts were having trouble staying together while drying, so we’ll probably be using air dry clay instead! #jeffkoons #balloondog #birthdaypartyart #popart"
