In Model Masters we explored Air dry clay, texture, painting, and beading--All in one project! After sketching our landscape designs we began
Step 1: Students started with a ball of wedged air dry clay and made a slab by flipping it over and flattening several times. After the clay was about 1 inch thick, the clay was cut into a specific shape (square, circle, star).
Step 2: Clay tools were used to add relief--high and low areas--in the plaque. Tools were also used to add different textures in the designs.
Step 3: Two holes were punched in the top of the plaque to allow it to hang.
Step 4: After allowing to dry completely, plaques were painted using vibrant acrylic paints.
Step 5: Wire and glass beads were threaded through the top holes so the plaque could be displayed.
