My third grade friends and I have been busy the past couple of weeks making fish out of clay! We watched this fellow's instructional video, and then got to work. Although I really liked his concept (and accent), we had to tweak our projects a bit. Instead of just joining pieces of clay together (and hoping for the best), we secured everything with the "score and slip" method. We also took more time to focus on how to make a variety of texture with different tools. My students all seemed very proud of their creations and can't wait for them to be fired in the kiln. I will post pictures of the finished, painted pieces. :)
