3rd Graders made these wonderful desert plants out of clay! The lesson pervious to this we created a desert landscape with overlapping hills (Thanks to Lines, Dots and Doodle for the idea). Here is a picture of the landscape painting.
Doing the landscape before the clay lesson made for some great connections and students were more familiar with how desert plants look. I encouraged students to add patterns and rhythms to the pots of their plants to give their artwork more embellishment and details.
