Clay Owls

First graders learned that clay comes from the ground and that people have been using clay to make art for a long time. They learned to roll a slab, and then folded their rolled slab into the shape of an owl. They used clay tools to create textural details to their owl. They learned their dried clay gets put into a kiln and fired. Then they colored their fired clay owls with oil pastels and dipped them into watered down tempera paint.
