Grade 5 students used slab construction and modelling techniques to create a small triangular box, which they were then asked to decorate and glaze to resemble a slice of cake. This was such a fun project, with impressive results. Displaying these sculptures on my vintage cake plates made them look good enough to eat!
A few years ago I did a similar project, making clay cupcakes with grade 4 and 5. You can see those HERE. Either project is a great tie-in with Pop Art and particularly artists such as Wayne Thiebaud.
FABULOUS!! Your students' parents are going to be thrilled to have these as keepsakes!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christie :) It was tempting to keep a couple for myself I must say.

Did you have them plan out their cake piece, or is their drawing after they were finished?? My school is adding 5th graders to our building next year, and I LOVE this project! I just didn't know which came first, the drawing or the clay :)
ReplyDeleteHi There - the drawings are the students design and planning beforehand.
Deletedid you have them make a template to work from ?
