Well, Taylor is starting off 4th grade with a bang! His first big project is due Monday and so we've been working hard for the last few weeks to get it ready. First we made all of the animals/fish out of clay and baked them, then let them dry. Next came the fun part as we painted them, then sprayed them with shiny glaze to make them look "wet". Finally, we put it all together. Have a look!
One proud boy...he loves his project:
His school of fish...just swimmin' around. :)
His puffer fish...designed by Taylor.
Sting rays. These were fun to make and we think they look awesome!
The star of the project...the giant squid. With his beady eyes and beak, he looks a little surprised. :)
The lobsters (and you can see a star fish in the background). We used beads for all the eyes to give them the right look. Putting tiny black beads on a small clay lobster isn't as easy as it sounds. Taylor had his first experience with super glue and fingers.
Tada! Well, not exactly...we ended up adding some sea shells, and then tada! but it is still pretty cool. The power point presentation that Taylor and I made was pretty fun too.
Congrats Taylor on a project well done. Hoping for an "A"! :)
