For our first project in Unit 3, fourth graders will be studying the artwork of Helen Cordero. Students will discuss the history of the Pueblo culture's storytellers, and how Cordero made this into an art form. Students will apply different clay handbuilding techniques, such as slab, coil, and pinch to create their own versions of the storyteller sculptures. Students will use knowledge of balance, texture, form, and color to create a complete composition.
