Miniature Clay Food

 


Description: For this activity, we had to create 3 different clay foods and paint them. We had to use different techniques like slip and score, cutting them out, pounding the clay on the table, and painting the clay while it was wet. 

Extension Activity: For an extension activity, I would tie it into the food groups and have the students learn about the different food groups and how food effects your body. Students will have to research the food groups and write a paragraph about each food group.

  Description: For this assignment, our classmates taught us how to draw with perspective. We had to draw at least four squares in half of the paper, then draw lines from the corners of the squares to the middle of the paper. After that we went over those lines with black sharpie to make the lines stand out. Then we had to pick two of the patterns from their slide show and come up with two of our own to put in the squares. After that we used oil pastels to create at least three different combinations. Extension activity: I would teach the students about buildings and how they have perspective as well. For the assignment they will have to choose a building in their town and draw it. They will research the building and find pictures on the internet. After that they will draw the building showing shading and perspective.
