THE PLAN
1.Students will research a children's story to recreate in clay
2.Students will create sketches of a scene or characters from the story to re-create
1. Have the students research their favorite childrens story or fairy tale and create preliminary sketches of their scene or character.
2. Using basic handbuilding techniques that the students have previously learned, they are to create a replica of the sketch they have drawn. Make sure all of the pieces are secured.
3. Let clay dry and bisque fire.
4. paint using acrylic paints and spray with a clear acrylic to seal.
5. Have students create a card with the story synopsis to display with the sculpture.

last slide has this for the assignment handout:
Hand Built Fairy Tales Assignment
In the library, or at home you are to research children’s fairy tales or nursery rhymes. I want each person to come up with two different fairy tales or nursery rhymes to choose from. Find the major characters, plot and sketch some illustrations in your sketch book to build in clay. The fairy tale or nursery rhymes written text will be included with the final project. I would like it typed up in a booklet or on a card that will be displayed with the final ceramic piece.
The final clay sculpture will be fairly small in size-(no bigger then 12”x12”x12” please), and will be a single unit- (all pieces attached, no removable parts). I would like detailed plans that include color selections, drawn in your sketch book, before you start. The Sketch book will be a graded assignment before you start- remember you must sketch up 2 ideas.
