This is going to be a really cool project! Some of my second grade students are working on making relief sculptures. First I got their parents to send in a picture of their favorite place in Athens or Watkinsville (Oconee County) GA. Next we reviewed what they learned in the previous lesson about perspective techniques, such as horizon line, diminishing size, and overlapping shapes. The students then studied their pictures to find shapes. They traces all of the shapes separately on transparencies to create stencils to use later on the clay. All of the stencils got labeled and cut out.
Next the students will trace their shapes on clay and build their relief sculpture.
After applying the stencils the students cut out their parts and began scratching and attaching.The finished pieces are quite impressive!

Next the students will paint their pieces and add any final details after they have been fired.
Before the students began painting we had a review about caring for our paint brushes and color theory.
