February 2017 - 3-D Clay Puppets

Kindergarten and 1st Grade

Project Title: 3-D Clay Puppets


Description:
  • Students formed a 3-dimensional clay head based on an animal.  They pulled out ears and snouts from clay and subtracted eyes and noses.  The heads were painted using a tint of one color, then details were added later.  Cone bodies were designed next and painted.  Varnish gives our puppets shine and added strength.
