Fifth grade artists are finishing modelling their clay heroes. We worked from reference photos of our chosen heroes. We used additive and subtractive methods of sculpture to create our heroes. We discussed two methods of attaching clay pieces to our project: blending and slipping/scoring. We also discussed texture and added texture to our people's hair and clothes. So far, these guys and gals look great. They'll be headed into the kiln soon and then painted next week.
