Bigger Than Life

Homeschool Art Field Trip

Last week we went to Kimball Art Center for a tour of their art display. This months display title was "Sugar". There were paintings of all kinds of sweets. They all looked so yummy and so real. After we studied and discussed the paintings and the artist, we did an art project. The children were given clay and could make their favorite sweet but they were to make it bigger than life. Hudson made a huge piece of pie with ice cream, Abbi made a waffle cone with 2 big scoops of ice cream, Maggie made a large piece of cake, and Weston created a gigantic Popsicle. They painted their art and we will pick their art up next week after they have been "fired" in the kiln.

The Homeschool Crew listening to Miss Jenny talk about how to create things with clay.
