school projects

Alena does a lot of work with clay in her classroom. These vessels were made in response to Goldilocks and the Three Bears. They are bowls for oatmeal.

Children glaze bowls with the help of an aide, student teacher or parent volunteer. Groups of 5 are taken out of the classroom to finish the project. Importance of glazing technique stressed in a class discussion of eating cereal out of the bowls.

I noticed these in the grade 2 hallway. Group of Seven images translated in acrylic. Careful looking and analysis visible in the paintings. The text reveals sensory writing - walking into the work of art and commenting on what one experiences through the senses, one by one.
