1st, 2nd and 3rd Grade Art

All the glazing has been completed for the clay work and the students are anxious to see the long awaited final results of their work. As our kiln is outside, I have to wait until the temperature rises to a balmy 30 degrees before I can do any of the glaze firings. After the glazing was completed, they began working on the designs for the Gala horses. I enjoyed seeing all the creative ideas, listening to them compromise on the final design and hearing them kindly debate why one design would be better visually than another design. It is always great to see students collaborate and work together so well. 

Because we cannot have a dozen artists working on one piece at the same time, they are also creating a small South American molas design with black paper and oil pastel to tie into their class study of South America. The work should be completed this week.
