6th Grade Clay Shoes

These shoes were made by students in Mrs. Barca's 6th grade class!

6th Grade Clay Shoe

This video is a demonstration for a clay shoe project I have my 6th grade students create. I will post some pictures of their finished work later this week!

Alien bust

I made this in college with clay and colored it with shoe polish. I used an armature of wood and newspaper before wrapping clay slabs around it. Then I purposely left the head open so I could add hair with the leaves of a plant. This is one of my favorites and a lesson I taught in high school with the older kids.

4th grade wire people

This piece is from a project where the students learn of proportion in the human form. Then they apply what they learn from drawing the body to creating a wire sculpture of it.

February Forbes Show-Armstrong Elementary

This month the artwork hung on the 3rd floor of the Forbes building belongs to Armstrong's young artists. This is just one of many on display now!
