After creating abstract owls through drawing, we created owls with clay. We starts by rolling a piece of clay into a ball. We then flattened it like a pancake. In the middle of the pancake, we used a side of a Popsicle stick to make feathers/arches on the belly. Next, we folded in the sides to creat wings and scrapped a fork over the wings to add ones. Then we folded down the top part to create the head. We made sure to pinch the top corners for the ears. The bottom of a Mr. Sketch marker worked perfect for the eyes. We used a wooden stick to add dots in the middle of the eyes. Lastly students added the beak and any other details they wanted using clay or wooden sticks.
We painted our owls the rolling class period with watercolors.
Looking back, I wish the owls had holes in then to turn them into ornaments.
