This lesson will give students step-by-step instructions on how to create this adorable Christmas decoration. This ornament is 3-4 inches tall and a bit heavy when finished, so it is best used as a tabletop decoration rather than a tree ornament. This class encourages creativity and individual artistic expression. Students will be able to choose the color and decorations on their mugs, whether they want their mugs filled with hot chocolate or milk, and whether or not they'd like to include something extra fun inside the cup. The difficulty level of this class can be rated at a beginner-plus level. Beginners can be successful in this class, but adult supervision is strongly encouraged for younger learners. Students who are particularly intimidated by clay may want to take one of my other beginner classes first as this project is a bit complex. Sculpting has a variety of benefits! -Improves fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination -Encourages problem solving and perseverance through trial and error -Cultivates creativity -Stimulates and engages the brain by learning through play
Metas de aprendizaje
Students will improve their hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, concentration, and spatial reasoning.

The best type of clay for this project is polymer, or oven-bake, clay. I recommend this sculpt and bake kit. It is great for beginners and has tons of useful tools and colors. It also contains many eye pins for making your sculpture hangable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HQGP98D/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_AmHIFbYBCEMC6 I have also used this smaller kit, and it is also excellent: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WJ41L9Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_loHIFb4A7W25F You are welcome to use any clay you'd like, but the larger set is the set we'll be working with in class. Bake at 260-275° under a foil tent for 25-30 minutes. After the timer stops, turn off the oven and leave your creation inside for 20-30 minutes to prevent rapid cool down. When clay cools too fast, it can crack. Parchment paper to cover your workspace. Sarah wrap Ziplock bags (I recommend snack bags). If you do are not buying the above set, you will also need these: Clay - You may use white clay, but we will not be painting in class. I recommend pre-colored clay. Toothpicks Sculpting tools (suggested but not required) Paring knife or exacto knife. Other optional supplies: Rolling pin (acrylic recommended) Mini cookie cutters or plungers.

Hello, parents!
My name is Christina Broadway, and I am so excited to meet your student! My older kids and young adults usually call me Ms. Broadway or "Ms. B." To the littles I'm typically known as "Ms. Christina."
I graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in English, and I'm working to earn Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction. Over the past 15 years, I have taught preschool, middle school, and high school children. I have taught online for almost 3 years. To say teaching is my calling is an understatement; I am a teacher at heart and it colors every aspect of my life.
My husband and I live on the Texas coast and love to fish, play board games, and travel.
My love for teaching began with English and Language Arts. Ironically, when I was in grade school, I found English to be very boring and rigid; however, when I got to college, I took some English courses that opened my eyes to how fun language and literature can be! I realized that while literacy and language art skills are important for social, academic, and vocational purposes, they can also be an avenue for creativity and artistic expression. I strive to make my classes both challenging and fun. Most of all, I always try to teach literature and grammar in a way that will be useful and meaningful to my students throughout their lives.
Finally, I am an artist. I am a self-taught baker, sculptor, and painter. (I have even painted some classic works of art ON CAKE!) I believe art is a valuable tool for cultivating self-expression, analytical skills, and emotional health. Children who participate in art and music programs are statistically more likely to perform better in their core subjects. As a result, I love connecting with students through art. I strive to make my art classes accessible for learners of all skill levels and abilities. I am truly amazed by what children are capable of when we give them the guidance and opportunity.
Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me. I hope to see you soon!
-Christina
