Animal Sculptures in Clay
Objectives:
I can demonstrate that I understand how to create a 3D sculpture from clay
I can demonstrate that I can attach clay using scoring and slip
I can create a free standing and stable sculpture
I can demonstrate how to add details using various tools
Vocabulary:
3D: Anything that has length, width, and depth
Freestanding: the animal is able to stand on its own
Score- creating lines going in two different directions such as hashtags in clay to attach two pieces together (first step in the score, slip, squeeze process)
Slip- really wet clay that is placed on the scored areas before squeezing two pieces of clay together to join them (second step in the score, slip, squeeze process)
Squeeze: pressing the clay pieces together until the water bubbles come out (the final step in the process to attach two pieces of clay together)
Touchpoints: Where the clay touches another part of the clay; strengthens both pieces
Real Texture: Texture that you can both see and feel
Implied Texture: Texture that has been added by drawing or pressing into the clay; it is not real and you can see it but it does not feel as it looks
