Autumn Leaves in Clay

The idea for this lesson came from my colleague Linda (thanks Linda!), who found them here at Artsonia.

Students roll a thin slab of clay, create a leaf imprint by pressing a large leaf into their clay and cutting around it. Some bent the edges to create a more 3D effect. We then glazed in red and yellow. They were really easy to make with our grade 2s and I was pretty impressed with the display.
