Goal

The goal of this request is to provide the students at Golden Gate Elementary the opportunity to create three dimensional works of art. With these materials students will be able to craft with their hands and take a piece of art work home that could last a lifetime.  

 

What will be done with my students

Students will be able to shape and manipulate materials using their bare hands like they have never done before. Clay and yarn will be used in each grade level. Kindergarten down to creating small necklace sized Mandalas, clay as the base, tooth picks for designs and yarn to hold the clay in place. Older grade levels will be able to dive deeper with clay and yarn, creating looms out of clay along with coil or pinch pots and adding yarn with in the holes as another decorative touch. Students will be able to use hole punchers to create holes on their paper plate looms for circle weaving, straws to make yarn book markers and plastic cups to create a cup made out of only yarn and rugs with large looms! Students will even be able to explore stitching/sewing using large plastic needles and Burlap fabric or foam trays, diving into embroidery skills.

 

 

Benefits to my students

Todays world is very demanding and lacks patience these projects will open the eyes of students showing them the basics on how things were made by hand before technology. Using these materials such as clay, fabric and yarn give my students a chance to dive into skills they can take home and use almost everyday!
