Description
Class Experience
No experience with clay at all is needed but is advantageous to have. Basic clay skills will be taught. Skills such as: rolling clay into a pancake. Molding clay into a ball. Imprinting objects such as leaves into clay to make an imprint. Cutting holes into the clay. Rolling clay into a snake form. . 1st lesson(day 1): day 1: Coil pot: we will make a snake by rolling small pieces of clay and then roll the snake into a pot. We can make a clay snail magnet. We will use the counter top...
Students will learn to pinch clay, to squeeze clay, and to roll clay. Learners will by the end of class know how to make a coil pot, a hand (or paw) print, a slab pot, and a pinch pot. Why Clay? 1. It's therapeutic. Simply the act of molding clay in one's hands whether you're a child or an adult can be very calming. Remember those stress balls that were once so popular? Manipulating the clay can help relieve stress or even be an outlet for young children who physically express their emotions. 2. It's an outstanding sensory development activity 3. It's play based learning. You might not realize it, but playing with clay is promoting minds to get busy by thinking about what they're going to create and how they're going to create it. This type of creative play promotes imaginative problem-solving skills.
None.
Learners will be able to pick up some clay any time they want to and re-make the things we made in class.
supply list: small bowl of water (used to moisten clay) a pencil a rolling pin or smooth glass jar A dry rag (to wipe hands or counter top if needed) A damp/wet rag (to wipe hands or counter top if needed) Clay: self hardening clay or air dry clay in any color. It usually comes in black or white. Any local art or craft supply store will carry self hardening clay. It is also sometimes called air dry clay. I am going to use a black color. I bought my clay from Sheffield Pottery in Sheffield MA. There is an on-line store if you need to order on-line. https://www.sheffield-pottery.com/default.asp?msclkid=bc3ee05b1f8a199028efbe9540e372db&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=**LP%20Branded%20-%20A&utm_term=Sheffield%20Pottery&utm_content=Sheffield%20Pottery Small objects: some leaves, sea shells, or buttons to make imprints bring small magnet to attach to the Clay(snail project)
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
informal assessment
1 hour per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
None. Optional: parents can help their students by sitting next to them off camera or just be nearby in case the student needs hands-on help.Camera angle: for the clay work try to angle your camera on the table where you are working so I can see what you are doing and I'll do the same.
