Inspiring Plasticine Sculpting

Perhaps this is how the author Barbara Reid started.

Or the artist, film maker Nick Park.

Maybe this was how James May began to consider his plasticine garden. 

     

Tiny characters being designed to tell familiar stories and rhymes.

Or becoming characters in new stories to be shared with friends.

 

Recreating a scene from a cherished book.

 

Telling stories while creating stories.

The learning of friendship.

         

Connecting to their world. 

Connecting to each other.

   

 

The language of sculpting.

The language of learning.

    

Arctic worlds emerge.

 

And transform into Santa's workshop.

 

Today's creators, story tellers, sculptors, artists...

       

       

Tomorrows award winning authors, film makers, artists, sculptors, inventors, builders...

 

 

A Garden in Kindergarten

A flower delivery brought excitement and inspiration to our children!
 

 

Fingers grow ever stronger as they snip snip snip.

 So many bouquets went home to so many moms!

 Looking, contemplating, deciding, choosing.

'Miss, we are making a flower dress. It's beautiful!'

Flowers and fronds incorporated became incorporated into building structures, designs and thinking. 

As unique and beautiful as every flower, the children carry us on their journey of learning!

Creative again with sticks

What would the children do when offered the materials of sticks and frames?

 

They cut the sticks into many sizes and cut small and interesting pieces off the sticks.

 

 

Hmmmm....someone's got an idea.
