It's that time of year again! We will soon be creating our ceramic clay sculptures in 5th Grade Art Class. Last year we had great success with a cool project that can last a lifetime (and much longer!) if we treat it properly. We will be making a clay tile of any shape, that demonstrates RELIEF. Relief is one of those cool words that have many meanings. Relief sculptures are usually on the wall. They stick out off of a flat backing. If they only stick out a little bit they are considered low relief, and if they stick out quite a bit they are considered high relief. I would love it if 5th Grade students could start thinking about their relief sculpture and draft it on paper. A frontal view is important, but a side view that shows the relief could be cool too! My experience shows me the more we think about our sculpture before we sit down to make it the better they turn out!
Have fun drafting some ideas! Maybe you have more than one?
No one is responsible for completing any work at home this week or passing anything in to me. I am happy if you spend a little time thinking about what we have been doing in class and making art at home!
Thanks! Make healthy choices!
