Are you looking for a super-successful clay project for 3rd-5th grade? Our third graders loved making these sea turtle pinch pots. Check out the video tutorial!

I’ve included a short video of our school’s Skutt kiln. I’ve found that young students don’t understand the process that transforms their soft, gray, clay creations into a pale-colored, hard ceramics. I show this video in class to all grades, no matter what clay project I’m doing.

Materials: clay, a popsicle stick, a toothbrush, and water.

Enjoy!

Looking for a fun sculpture project that combines line and 3D design? This super-successful line sculpture lesson is perfect for both distance learning and for the traditional art room. You’ll need paper, scissors, a glue stick and a cereal box. I’ve attached an instructional video you can share with your students.

Materials

*three strips of colored paper (I just cut Astrobright paper into 1/3s). For distance learning, students could use any paper they have at home.

*scissors

*glue stick

*cereal box/cardboard (or construction paper) for the base

*optional: hole punch

Line Review

The students were familiar with lines (we had just completed my Line Rainbow Fish project).
