In this 50 minute class for 7-12 year olds, we will create 2 or more small bird sculptures. We will recycle old screws to make our bird legs.
Class experience
In this one hour class we will recycle screws into bird legs! Thickness may vary, but length must be the same for a stable bird. These quirky little guys are perfect for sitting on a shelf or windowsill. Air drying clay or polymer clay can be used for this project (this will require baking after class). I will guide the students and create along side them. Once our initial birds are made we will experiment with adding texture to the surface using tools. We will discuss ways to decorate...
Students will learn basic clay skills and fine detail modeling. We will pinch and pull the clay to create the bird feature and add texture with tools. Students will learn how recycled materials can be incorporated into their creations.
Homework Offered
As the clay will need at least 24 hours to dry, decorating will take place after class.Assessments Offered
Grades Offered
Air drying clay around 1lb Will make 3/4birds. - you could also use polymer clay (FIMO or Sculpey are my favorites) which will require baking after class. A piece of cardboard to work on- a porous surface will enable easier clay removal Clay tools or plastic knife, fork, toothpicks etc Small pot of water to smooth clay A collections of screws - two per bird of matching lengths An apron Paper or plastic to cover your work space
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Parental supervision maybe required as students are using metal screws. Parental help will also be needed to bake the polymer clay after class. This is not necessary for air drying clay.
