Our first project in Unit 3 will explore the medium of ceramic sculpture. Fifth graders will discuss the Atlanta artist, Kimmy Cantrell and how he creates his well-known expressionistic portrait sculptures. Students will explore the use of emotion and expression through art, and how this can be accomplished in a 3D medium. Students will apply different clay handbuilding techniques, such as slab, coil, and pinch to create their own expressionist sculptures. We will introduce a new oil pastel resist technique to add color to complete our compositions
