Early Childhood Garden Sculptures

Our PK, EK and Kindergarten created beautiful ceramic flower sculptures this Spring.  Student artists were very patient, as this learning project took many weeks and had multiple layers of learning!

 First students created a flower shaped template and used it as a guide to cut their clay slabs.  Each tracer was unique.  PK traced their hands for their flower shape.

Next students added details and texture with clay tools and ceramic stamps.

 Once dried and fired, the ceramic flowers were glazed with bright colors.

Once glaze fired the artists looked closely at their flower sculptures.  Then they drew them with gold crayon and painted them with liquid tempera paints.

I will add pictures of the installation once they are outdoors!
