Pottery Challenge!!! (Grade 6) Part 3

The japanese page is this page.

 

Students from Class B.

We hand turned our clay and made forms with a pre-set amount of clay.

Every year I think about how to describe this pre-set shape of clay we start with, it is like a hamburger bun but a little taller.

We need to careful with how much water we use as the air is very dry at the moment.

“Teacher, it’s amazing! Look at Miss S!”

Someone called.

 I looked across and saw she was able to bend the joint of her thumb right back!!

 “I can make it really easily with this skill”

She said and showed me how she could use it.

Sure enough she was able to use her thumb to help mould the base of the clay.

 

When the lesson finished we were able to look at and appreciate the forms we had made.

 

紙から生まれるカタチ（4年生）その5

A組の様子です。

できあがったマチをお互いに見合う活動をしました。

マチの正面にはマチの紹介文があり、それを読みながら

「あぁなるほど…」「すごい、すごいよ、これ見て！」

と予定の時間を過ぎてもまだ見たい、と声があがりました。

じっくりとすみずみまで鑑賞していました。

画像からもその雰囲気が伝わりますね！

 

前回からパワーアップしている部分もありました。

例えば「和」のイメージのグループは…

庭園のようです。色や形を意識しているのが分かります。

 

マチをかすめるように行き交うジェットコースターも登場しました！

ライトの部分に和紙を使うところがいいアイデアですね！

女の子も楽しそうです。

 

とっても小さい公園もありました。

子どもたちが仲良く楽しく遊べそうですね！

Madonna and child (Grade 4) Part 4.

The japanese page is this page.

 

Students from Class A.

People started to print to see what appeared from where they had chiseled.

We can check the wood print we have made using black.

On the right is the image from the woodblock print, on the left is the print on black.

Using technology we can spend less time carving prints.

Drawing a picture, and using a print has made these pictures.

 

We had to clean up a lot of wood chips after this activity.

The Art room was very clean afterwards.

I was impressed by how well everyone worked to clean the room.

Art is not just about drawing.

We also need to work to prepare and clean afterwards.

I was impressed at how well the students did this together.
