Day 1- We discuss American Architecture history. Each student then receives a lay out of the clay house template to plan on. Student are sure to include porches, balconies, chimneys, doors, and windows.
Day 2- We wrap a slab of clay around a milk carton. The milk carton has a paper towel taped around it so it is easy to remove the milk carton later. Students then are allowed to do subtractive sculpture this day; they can cut away doors and windows or they can cut into the clay to add more details. At the end of class, I wrap all the students projects up in a paper ream box so they do not dry out.
Day 3- Students are allowed to do additive sculpture this day. They can add porches, balconies, stairs, chimneys, I even have some add landscaping and basketball hoops. We make sure to score and slip so the clay holds together well.
Day 4- Students paint their houses.
