This project was a clay, leaf bowl project. This was a fun project to do because, well who doesn't love to play with clay! I really thought it was cool how they showed us to soften the clay and smooth it out. That was really fun. This is called kneading. Then we flattened our clay and carved out the design of the leaf. We were given the options of how to design our leaves. They then talked about colors of autumn and the warm colors we see. That's how I tried to paint my leaf. A deep red with some yellow aspects throughout the leaf. Varying the colors shows different values throughout this project. The lines through it show the veins of the leaf. And extension for this would be learning the alphabet. The students could make the clay designs into all the 26 letters. They could then paint them different colors with different values. It would be very fun for a group of younger students.
