Kindergarten- Clay Owls

Kindergarten students learned a few basic techniques during the creation of clay owls. First students rolled the clay onto a ball.  Then students pounded the clay, and flattened it into a pancake using the palm of their hand and a piece of fabric to add texture. We discussed how the palm of your hand has more strength and allows for the pancake to be smoother. Then students folded the clay to  form the wings and head of an owl.  Students then used a variety of tools to add texture to their feathery friends before painting them with tempra paint dipping them in modge podge for a shiny finish.
