Clay Wars!!!

We started the clay unit last week.  I always begin the clay unit with an exploratory lesson that gets the students fired up with working in clay.  Clay wars is designed to have students work in teams and compete at several tasks in the clay.  The focus is: " What is happening to the clay"?  Here are some pictures of the students working.

 

Self portraits are starting to get finished!!

I feel that a majority of the students who do this project feel very good about their finished product!  The result are always impressive - Here are a few!
