POLYMER BEADS & BUTTONS
BEGINNING 3-D ART
polymer clay & toaster oven
This is a wonderful mixed grade level (8-12) group of kids,
many of them 8th graders who enjoyed the Art Wheel class last year.
They have a lot of creative & positive energy,
and jumped in with both feet on this first Color Theory Assignment.
Instead of mixing paint like we do in the 2-D class,
we mix polymer clay colors to make the colors on the color wheel
as well as all the tints and shades,
plus grey and brown.
Next I teach them several design techniques that they turn into beads & buttons.
And we bake & string them.
Here are the entire classes string of beads & buttons,
all 31 of them.
They turn them in strung in the order that we made them,
with all their extras on each end.
A couple close-ups.
I especially enjoyed the mermaid and turtle.
