9th graders are finishing a unit on prehistoric art and we are gearing up for a clay workshop. Their assignment is to create an idol statuette, sort of like the Venus of Willendorf, but of their own design. In the meantime, we had a trial run the other day using Play-doh. Following a You Tube tutorial, they had to sculpt tiny heads. I love this project because they get to loosen up a lot and the soft, malleable material allows for very expressionist creations. Here are some of the most creative examples.
