Use half the block for the body and half for the fins, eyes, lips, etc. They can even be stacked on top one another. They can write their name on the plate for storing the fish while they dry. I give them each a paper plate to make their sculpture on. Using CRAYOLA AIR DRY CLAY, each student gets a block of clay (about 2-3 square inch).
You can also paint the background and the fish separately and then, glue them together.Ĭrayola Air Dry Clay, paper plate, tooth pick, Chipboard or cardboard, Acrylic Paint, brushes, water cup, paper towel. Once our sculptures are dry, I hand them back with the cut piece of CHIPBOARD and I put a swirl of glue on the back of the FISH SCULPTURE (tacky glue works best, but Elmer’s glue will do the trick too). Glueing the Fish Sculptures to a piece of CHIPBOARD or cardboard makes it easy to display in class or for an art show. It takes a few days for the clay to dry before painting.

I’ve done this clay art lesson with the full span of grade levels using model magic for kinder and first grade and using Crayola Air Dry Clay for all the other grades.
Keep it super simple for the little ones or get really intricate with designs and patterns for the upper grades. Crayola Air Dry Clay is my go clay to for this project, but this lesson can be done with Crayola Model Magic, Sculpey Polymer Clay or even stoneware clay.ĬLAY FISH SCULPTURES can be varied for Grade K-8. The Fish Sculptures can be used in as a STEAM CLAY ART LESSON. Simple directions give students lots of leeway to make their fish unique. CLAY FISH SCULPTURES make an easy intro to sculpting skills or a review of using clay.
