5th grade viewed Vincent van Gogh's Sunflowers series. We were inspired to create our own sunflowers using clay. Using the pinch pot method, we created shallow bowls. Then we added petals around the edges to turn the bowls into sunflowers.
After the bowls were created, we painted them using warm colors to really turn them into sunflowers!
Love how these turned out!
Review:
We are also using Crayola brand air dry clay for the first time this year. It is by far my favorite air dry clay that I have tried. I have tried Blick brand and the air dry clay from Hobby Lobby. This clay is not overly messy, stays moist in the kids' hands, HL clay tends to dry out when we are using it) and the bonds were much stronger. This is the first clay project where I have had zero artworks break from being too brittle. Highly recommend!
