The purpose of this lesson is to introduce the basics of clay, such as the terms scoring and slipping) to 4th graders. They are growing in critical skills, self-evaluation, as well as evaluation of others. This age can concentrate for longer periods of time which is critical to this project because it can be very time consuming--students need to be patient when waiting in line, they will need to wait for their clay to dry enough to paint it, and to wait even longer when waiting for it to dry to paint it other colors.
Extension Activity:
This activity would work well with Social Studies because Picasso was the first to make non-realistic pieces of art. He used simple and abstract ways of expressing a new perspective. I would also introduce artists that came before Picasso and show the difference between the artworks.
