This clay will allow every student in my school to safely gain the experience of a new art medium, from Kindergarten to 6th grade. We will do a variety of projects, fit for each grade's abilities, with a lot of room for creativity. Without a kiln in the school, and teaching art from a cart, AirDry Clay is the best method to give students this opportunity. The amount of clay I listed will give each student almost half a pound of clay, which will be just enough for one small project without being too skimpy. The wax paper will become individual placemats for students to work on at their desks. This will keep the process sanitary by removing the need to share, and limiting the clean up process, making clay in the classroom possible. The project will take at least 3-4 class periods to learn, prepare, create, and paint. Clay projects are always a favorite for students, and something they are already begging to do. This year, art looks very different for my students, but I do not want to limit their creativity and ability to try new things. This project will allow my students to learn the tactile skills of three-dimensional art, increase fine motor skills, think about art and the world in new ways, and have a fun and exciting creative experience. Students will fulfill many areas of their core art curriculum as they safely explore a new and unique material, create plans and follow steps for their projects, respond to ceramic artists, and learn about caring for and presenting delicate three-dimensional artworks. Most of these lessons cannot be taught except by hands-on experience with the medium.
