This week we commenced the art component of our unit on Multiple Intelligence. Before the children were able to handle the clay they had to think about and design (a) a pot and (b) a sculpture that might represent one of their strengths (intelligences).
The aim of the unit:
To learn about the texture of clay as it is being crafted
To join pieces of clay correctly so that when dry, they remain attached
To produce a coil and pinch pot
To creatively sculpt an object depicting a personally selected intelligence
To evaluate their own work and the work of others
We thought that an early glimpse at a work in progress may demonstrate to you the focus that each child had during the first phase of the unit. In this slideshow the children are producing their coil pot. Mucky hands were just another enjoyable part of this tactile experience.
We will post the sculptures at a later date.
