Clay

Art

• The 3 year old student learned about the texture and malleability of clay as they squished, squeezed, and rolled it into different shapes.
• Through clay, the student explored the concept of form and volume, creating basic 3D shapes such as balls, snakes, and cubes.
• By adding small details and decorations to their clay creations, the student practiced fine motor skills and attention to detail.

Creative ways for continued development could include introducing the child to different types of clay, such as air-dry clay or modeling clay, and encouraging them to create more complex sculptures or objects using their imagination as a guide.
