Teaching year 8 and 11 clay gave me access and time to use art supplies to make some clay creations. My year 8 Art class made clay fish, so I made some examples during the holidays. The kids loved them. I got them to draw a cartoon style characterised fish after they had already sketched real fish. We spoke about exaggerating the fish features and giving them human characteristics.
Blue fish: I made this as a sample at home to show the kids and gave a painting demonstration with it too. I then painted over it at home. After varnishing it the colours went darker so here is it before and after:
Pink fish: I made at home as a sample to show bringing human characteristics into a fish.
Yellow Fish: This is the fish I made as I demonstrated to the kids step by step and they followed along.
Gnome: My year 11 art class was also doing clay so I made this gnome as a sample.
My student's fish: Before firing and at our school art exhibition.
