Fourth and 4/5 Split Clay Dragons

4th and students in Ms. Sitek's 4/5 split class have been working diligently on these clay dragons. They first brainstormed characteristics of dragons and what a dragon exactly is and then learned about the differences in the way dragons are portrayed in Eastern and Western cultures. We looked at many examples and then created a sketch. Students further developed their clay skills in building these dragons, because there are so many details and parts of the dragon to consider. Most are finished building and we will begin glazing soon.
I love the variety of the styles.
