Second Grade- Clay Buildings

Our second graders began working on their clay project for the year.  We started by learning about different styles of architecture & how the styles have changed through the years.  We studied the various details that come together to go into the design of a building- all the way from the style of the windows to the types of roofs there are to choose from.  The students then drew 4 different building facades demonstrating what they learned. They chose their favorite design & made that design into their clay slab.  Once their pieces dry they will be fired in the kiln & then painted so they are ready to go for the art show!
