Our 2nd grade students finished their owl unit with slab clay texture owls! Slabs are thin sheets of clay similar to rolling out cookies or pizza. Then we used rubber stamps to add texture. Texture is the way something feels, like the bottom of your shoes. After rolling and pinching the beak, wings, and eyes, Ms. Erickson fired or baked the clay in a special art oven, called a kiln. We added paint, feathers, wire, and googlie eyes to finish our owls. Check them out in the display cabinet in the front lobby!
