Edible Art in Art Club

For our final art club, we talked about the art of food presentation, and then made sushi. When I told the kids I'd brought them raw fish, rice, and seaweed wrap, they were less than thrilled. But when Amy and I brought out the real ingredients (Rice Krispies Squares, Fruit by the Foot and gummy fish) they were pretty excited. Check out their "sushi" below!

Penguins by the Sixth Graders

The six grade students started with a simple pinch pot, then continued to pinch out arms, beaks, and feet (and on some, mohawks!). The students fired and glazed them, and they came out wonderfully.

First Grade Snowmen!

First graders made these adorable snowmen from tongue depressors! Before they took them home we glued pretty seasonal ribbons to them for hanging.

Model Magic Stamped Trees by the Third Graders

Third graders shaped their trees, then used Cuttlebug folders to stamp patterns into them. After watercolor painting and applying glaze, the result was stunning!

Sweet Polar Bears by the Second Graders

Students made these adorable polar bears from model magic.

Stamped ornaments by the fourth graders.

After making a round shape from their clay, students carefully dusted cornstarch over rubber stamps to leave imprints on their ornaments. We fired and glazed them, and below you'll see the lovely results.

Ceramic leaves

The fifths graders carefully cut out leaf shapes, then let them dry in bowls to give them a curled shape. After being glazed, check out the results. Beautiful.
