Elementary Grade 3 - Janaury 31 - February 11, 2011







Grade three students looked at the Mayan mask making traditions and answered the question what is an artifact? Then they created a miniature model of a Mayan mask using Sculpy terra cotta clay to form the base and then after baking the form they added colored Sculpy to represent precious jade. Then the mask was baked again. (Thanks again to grade 10 students who purchased the oven for the art room with proceeds from their guacales auction last year.)
We added our miniature Mayan masks to the Mayan Museum exhibits. We will add additional embellishments and finishing touches to them this week.
