Leaf Bowls

Fourth Grade Leaf Bowls I love these fun fall leaves . They are quite easy to do if you are fortunate enough to have a kiln at your fingertips! Each student starts with a fist sized lump of potters clay . Review and complete wedging of the clay as usual (to prepare it from air bubbles, etc.) Simply roll the clay into 1/4" slabs using rolling pins and two guide sticks which help you get an even result. Place a large leaf over the clay- facing up so that the veins are down. I have them select leaves as big as their hand- spread wide. Roll the leaf twice to press the design into the clay . Use a sharp trimming tool (thin/long nails, an opened thick paper clip or better clay tools work well here) to cut the outline of the leaf shape. Smooth the rough edges with one finger and a bit of water. Lay some plastic wrap, a paper towel or a thin cotton cloth inside of a disposable paper bowl. Lay your clay leaf inside of the bowl and gently press it down to take it

Aurora Borealis

These Aurora Borealis images were beautiful to create. My sixth grade students got really into the salt mountains, the chalk pastel smears in the sky…and my “science kids” were simply into the fact that they were getting such cool information about this fantastic earthly phenomenon! I would definitely suggest this project to others. First…. These were posted by Rachel on her Color, Collage and much more site. Please see her images here! I think her mountains have a neat look- she used suran wrap on them! Read More here on how we made them...
