Art in the Schools Program

Wednesday, February 2, 2010.

Students from the New Hartford Elementary School enjoyed a class in clay sculpture during the NHAL’s third after school class held this year.

Art League members Bonnie Boyle (presenting the lesson) and Karen Meares assisted the children, reinforced the concept of form, and helped them complete a finished sculpture. This was the third in a series of six lessons in the after school program for grades K-2 at the school.
Two techniques were used: rolling shapes and applying them by “scoring” the clay and pulling it together;  rolling a ball and “pulling out” the head, legs and tails of their creatures.

Their hands red from the Mexican pottery clay, nine First Graders enjoyed the process of creating various animal forms.
