Spring Bunny in It's Whimsical Habitat: Clay Art Animal Landscape Scene Modeling. What better place for a miniature Bunny to nap, than on a giant mushroom in the garden! Add a lake with chicks! In this class, we will work together to learn the steps needed to create each portion of our adorable miniature bunny and it's habitat. Different camera views will be used to show each step of the way. We will condition, cut, roll and form our pieces. Then we will assemble all our parts and get them prepared to be baked or dried after class is over. Students may use different supplies, but I will be demonstrating with the listed supplies. Students may use whichever modeling medium of choice. I use either polymer clay or model magic clay. Students may add to their habitat as they desire! We will go over different areas of the habitat that can be added, such as a lake, animal friends, gardens, etc., and will customize them together. Supplies: *Clay or Modeling Medium (for smaller Sculpting I use Polymer bake clay, for larger Sculpting I use Foam Clay...aka Model Magic) *Colors: White, Green(s), Any other colors you wish to use for mushroom caps, gardens, and flowers! *Basic Sculpting tools, or just a toothpick and the end of a paintbrush for smoothing and rolling will work just fine. *A wooden toothpick (may need to be broken) to support the tall mushroom *A non stick surface to work on *It's best to work directly on a piece of parchment/baking paper, so you can lift the structure without warping the clay. **Polymer clay requires baking according to the package direction. (Generally ~275 °F/135 °C, depending on your brand of clay). You may do this after class. Parental help is necessary.
