주당 1시간. 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 post in the Outschool classroom.학습 평가

수업 소개
In this four day polymer clay art class, Learners will practice using various clay techniques to make a sleepy cat, a magical narwhal, a cuddly arctic fox, and a cute penguin. Learners will be taught various techniques throughout the class such as using different clay tools, blending and smoothing techniques, and making different shapes with teardrops, spheres, cones, and tapering, Learners will also apply different clay sculpting techniques using the sculpting tools they have available, as well as using fingers as tools. Day 1: Sculpt a sleepy cat. Create a body and head, hind legs, feet, front legs, snout, closed eyes, ears, and then a tail. Day 2: Sculpt a magical narwhal. Create the body and head, add eyes, make the front fins, sculpt the tail flippers, create the horn (tooth). Day 3: Sculpt a cuddly arctic fox. Create a body and head, hind legs, feet, front legs, snout, eyes, ears, and then a fluffy tail. Day 4: Sculpt a cute penguin Create a body and head, add markings for the face and belly, sculpt flippers and feet, make eyes and a beak. No clay experience is needed, but I do recommend that your Learner open their clay prior to class to become familiar with it if it is a new skill. I will also sculpt with the Learners and show them step by step. Learners 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! Learners will also get the chance to ask me questions about sculpting, and to talk with one another if they like. You may bring any clay colors for your animals. 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 a while 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/logs, and make sure it feels workable. Even if your clay is soft when you open it, conditioning it helps the end product to look nicer. 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. Some students may also have access to a clay roller machine or pasta machine and may use that to condition their clay. **This class may go over time if students need extra help (at the teacher's discretion).**
학습 목표
Students will learn several different polymer clay techniques, including: making different shapes with the clay, using a ball tool and other tools to make details, using fingers to create details, cutting a shape with a craft knife, and using other sculpting tools.
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.

학부모 가이드
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.

Parents may need to help their learner cure the sculptures 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.

Clay - Polymer Clay / Oven Bake 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.) *There are many brands of polymer clay / oven bake clay. See my recommendations below. Sculpting tools: - a ball sculpting tool or a small paint brush with a rounded end - a sculpting knife or a straight-edged butter knife (sharper knives are best, but be sure your learner knows knife safety) - 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 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. Artist Recommendations: I recommend using Sculpey III, Sculpey Premo, Sculpey Souffle, Fimo, Kato, or Cernit brand polymer clay as they are easier to find. Of these, the Sculpey III brand is the least strong but soft to work with. If you are looking for sculptures to be stronger, Sculpey Premo, Sculpey Souffle, 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 . com , Creative Wholesale, 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. 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! **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 does take a minute to condition for some colors. It is also very durable, and extremely flexible. 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. ****SCULPEY GUIDE**** Sculpey is by far the most popular brand among my Learners. Sculpey is the brand, and then there are several different formulas under that brand. Each one is a little different, and sometimes it is best to try a few to see which one you may like. Here is a guide to Sculpey brand polymer clay varieties: *Sculpey Bake Shop* - for little kids usually, very soft, not as durable but easy to use. *Sculpey III* - a good beginner polymer clay for practicing. Usually very soft, which some like and some do not. Not the most durable, especially for thin parts. *Sculpey Souffle* - this is a favorite with jewelry makers or people who like softer clay. It is soft, easy to mold, and is more durable even when thin. *Sculpey Premo* - this is my favorite of the Sculpey clays. It is definitely more firm, but that also means it holds detail very well. It is also more durable. *Sculpey Original* - usually white, gray, or beige. This is for sculptors who use a lot of tools and do a lot of detail work. It is a great, but does not come in colors. It can be painted with acrylic paints. All of these Sculpey clays are oven bake clays, and can be mixed around and used with each other since they bake at the same temperature (275 degrees Fahrenheit). 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 aged kids for over four years. I used polymer clay with my students in my own classroom, and they loved it!리뷰
