Last term, Level 3 and 4 students were considering why some species have become endangered. While formulating their understandings of what it means, they were asked to create an "endangered" creature in Art classes, considering why this may have occured and why this "ficticious" creature is important.
Using "artist's language" students were asked to think about the skin, fur, or feathers and the special features of their creature.
They made a series of three clay tiles which showed the texture, the eye and the claw, beak, tail, etc. of their creature. These will be fired in our new kiln.
They then made a tiny sculpture of their creature using Magic Paper Clay. They had to refer to their many drawings and clay modelling experiences to make sure their ideas link together.
