It was with excitement and anticipation that our First Grade students began clay modeling in the Handwork Studio. The students gave their eyes and mouths a break while they used their hands to form a lovely sphere with the clay. What a wonderful moment it was at the end of our work when we compared a piece of clay set-aside at the beginning with the worked clay. When we held both pieces against our cheeks, how cold in contrast was the untouched piece of clay! Great astonishment!
We are inspired by the book Basic Sculptural Modeling: Developing the Will by Working with Pure Forms in the First Three Grades Hella Loewe Comments are closed.
