As our student teacher, Mr. Fabinski and I talked about upcoming clay project ideas, he came up with an ambitious idea for second grade, "What about texture owls?" Sounds great! He read Owl Moon and then students set to work drawing owls in an interesting setting. Mr. F reminded students to include background details as well as visual texture such as feathers or scaly talons. Week two, students rolled out balls of clay and cut out their owls. Next they added texture using shells, lego pieces, toy car wheels, even the bottom of small spools of thread. These will dry for two weeks, get fired in the kiln, then painted. Look for these to come home in about four weeks. Loading so many clay critters in and out of a kiln at two different elementary schools certainly is a labor of love!
