The 5B Frankenstein By:Emma and Diniti
5B has fashioned monsters! Really. In Art class, Mrs.Hayden has provided us everything we need. All of it from the earth. The most fearsome thing of all: Clay!
We made the monsters by making two "pinch pots". Pinch pots are little bowl like things made with clay. After we made them, we stuck them together with the score method. The score method is you take a sharp tool then make little lines going two directions. Then we make little arms and legs but those are preparations. Before you put them on you carve out a mouth. You do this for two reasons, one you need a mouth for your monster and two, It would blow up in the kiln. Monster go boom! Then we attached the arms and legs. We carved out the eyes and we made the hair with a garlic press! After that we had to put them in the kiln to fire and harden. When they come out they are very fragile. We paint them them glaze them so they're shiny. We were working on shiny versus dull.
If you made a monster, what colors would you use?
Dear Emma,
ReplyDeleteThat sound like so much fun. I like how we can do it if we wanted.
For Nina.
Hi my name is Emma!
ReplyDeleteapparently we have the same name!
I am your partner that is so cool that you did that i would want to do that also but in art we are making portraits that are in color and black so you put the black on the color but it is only paper and you put color on black it is super cool.
maybe you could comment on our blog!
