Description
Sculpt with clay to explore proportions and color balance, fostering creativity through tactile shaping and blending of colored clays.
Details
1. Provide non-toxic air-dry clay in primary colors (red, blue, yellow).
2. Have the child roll clay into equal-sized balls (e.g., 2 cm diameter).
3. Create a simple figure (e.g., animal) by combining balls, keeping parts proportional.
4. Blend small amounts of clay to make secondary colors (e.g., purple).
5. Ensure the sculpture’s colors and sizes look balanced.
6. Discuss how proportions and colors affect the sculpture’s appearance.
