週1時間. Students will be completing their sculptures during class, but some students may not finish their sculpture if they have very hard or very soft clay, or if they are late to class. Students may need to finish their sculpture after class, and can make use of the class recording to go back over any steps that they missed. After class the students will bake their sculpture according to their clay package directions. Students are also encouraged to post photos on the discussion board in the Outschool classroom.テスト
Student progress will be assessed informally throughout the classes. Students will get feedback on their sculptures during class as well as after class if needed.この文章は自動翻訳されています

In this polymer clay art class, students will learn how to use clay techniques to make a book. Students will learn various techniques throughout the class, such as using different clay tools, blending and smoothing techniques, making different shapes with teardrops and tapering, and different clay sculpting techniques using fingers as tools. First we will make the inside pages of the book, using our knowledge of shapes and edges. Then we will use the pages as a guide to make the cover of the book. Next we will put the cover on the pages and add texture and detail, making our books look more realistic. Finally we will decorate our book with any details we'd like to add, and add a metal hook if desired. Some clay experience is recommended, but I will also sculpt with the students and show them step by step. Students will also be encouraged to use creativity in their pieces, and always have the option to make their sculptures in a different way. Creative expression is an important part of making art! Students will also get the chance to ask me questions about sculpting, and to talk with one another if they like. You can bring any clay colors for your book. If you use polymer clay like I do, it is helpful to take the clay out before class and start conditioning the clay. You can do this way before class or about 15 minutes before, depending on how hard your clay is. To condition the clay, take out a little at a time. Squeeze the clay, roll it around, make clay snakes, and make sure it feels workable. Even if your clay is soft when you open it, conditioning it helps it to cure properly and be stronger. If you have really hard clay, make sure to start conditioning early, sometimes 45 minutes beforehand, by chopping up the clay into very small pieces and slowly rolling them together a little at a time. You can also use a food processor, but only if that food processor will not be used for food. **This class may go over time if students need extra help (at the teacher's discretion).** *The class minimum is set to 1, therefore I will still teach the class even if there is only 1 Learner.*
学習到達目標
Students will learn several different polymer clay techniques, including: cutting a shape with a craft knife, making different shapes with the clay using cutting tools and rollers, using a straight edge tool and needle tool to make details, using fingers to create details, and using other sculpting tools.
Students will learn how to use liquid clay and metal hooks to turn their sculpture into a charm. *Optional*
Students will improve their understanding of art as a means of self-expression. They will learn how to practice positive self-talk, and they will learn how to utilize constructive criticism.

Parental supervision or guidance may be needed for inexperienced learners. Polymer clay should be used on a non-porous surface (a metal sheet pan or piece of cardboard covered with parchment paper, or a piece of ceramic tile, or just parchment paper laid out). Learners should avoid touching their mouth when working with polymer clay.
Parental supervision or guidance is recommended when learners are using sharp cutting tools. We will be cutting the clay at various times in class, and that will require a clay cutting tool or knife. A plastic knife with a straight edge will also work. **Serrated edges or thicker plastic cutting tools are not recommended.**

Parents may need to help their learner cure the sculpture by baking it in the oven after class. Place the sculpture on parchment paper or an index card, then on a baking sheet or in a baking dish. If you are using Premo, bake at 275 degrees Fahrenheit. Time will vary depending on thickness, but usually 1 hour is sufficient. If you use another brand, check your packaging for baking temperature and time. Let it cool completely before handling.
受講に必要なもの
Clay - Polymer Clay in a variety of colors. (IMPORTANT - These sculptures are intended to be cured and hardened. It is not recommended that Learners use Plastalina or Play Dough. Model Magic or Air Dry may be used, but behaves very differently and does not hold detail as well.) - Recommended colors: White for the pages, and at least one color for the cover Sculpting tools: - a sculpting knife or a straight-edged butter knife (sharper knives are best, but be sure your learner knows knife safety) **Serrated edges or thicker plastic cutting tools are not recommended.** - an acrylic roller or larger paint brush, or other smooth rolling tool - a clay smoothing tool or silicone nail art brush - a needle tool or toothpick - other desired tools - *optional* - a rectangle shaped, small cutter to help shape the pages. Other materials: - parchment paper and/or cardstock/index card - a smooth, clean, non-porous surface to work on. I use a ceramic tile from the home improvement store. You can also use a piece of parchment paper wrapped around a piece of carboard and taped down so that it stays. I do not recommend working on aluminum foil as it gets wrinkled easily. - *optional* - a metal eye hook or eye screw, or similar metal jewelry finding (**For turning the book into a charm**) - *optional* - liquid polymer clay, or Bake and Bond, to help the metal stick to the clay (**For turning the book into a charm**) Artist Recommendations: I recommend using Sculpey III, Sculpey Premo, Fimo, Kato, or Cernit brand polymer clay as they are easier to find. Of these, the Sculpey III brand is the least strong but softest to work with. If you are looking for sculptures to be stronger, Sculpey Premo and Fimo Professional hold up better after baking but they are less soft. Fimo and Cernit both have varieties that are softer as well, but the same applies. Kato can be more firm sometimes, and bakes at a lower temperature so it is best not to mix with other brands. These brands all come in 2 oz. bars available at stores like Michael’s or JoAnn’s, or online at Sculpey or the Polymer Clay Superstore. I have also recently tested the "Crafter's" brand by Hobby Lobby. The Crafter's Collection Craft version is similar to Sculpey III or Craftsmart. The Crafter's Collection Advanced is extremely similar to Fimo Professional. I would choose the Advanced over the Craft Collection. **My favorite clay for softness and durability right now is Cosclay, but it is more of an investment. They come in larger, 8oz - 16oz boxes. This clay is soft to work with, but also very durable. You can find it at www.Cosclay.com or on Amazon. The variety packs that are off branded on Amazon are sometimes okay, but they often have very soft clay that is a little tough to work with. Some kids like it that soft, but others may get frustrated with the texture as it is difficult to use to make details. Please allow time for shipping if you choose to purchase supplies online. Clay bars are typically $2 - $4 per 2 oz. per bar. You can also buy multi packs that can sometimes be cheaper. The clay will not dry out if exposed to air, so it will last a while and can be used for other projects! If you have any other questions about tools, materials, or colors then please send me a message.

I have been working with polymer clay for over ten years. I have a Facebook page and a website to showcase my art, and I have sold pieces at various events throughout the years. I also taught elementary school for over four years. I used polymer clay with my students in my own classroom, and they loved it!レビュー
