Winter Trees

Colorful and inspired interpretations of winter trees made by 4th grade students.

Grade Level: 4th-8th grade

Length: 

Day 1--60 minutes to make tree

Day 2—60 minutes to glaze tree

Goals: Students will experience the technical challenge of executing a precise geometric shape using a clay slab.

This definitely does not have to be a “Christmas Tree” project! Think about incorporating conical trees into curriculum that addresses environmental conservation (Earth Day!) as well as lessons that explore 3 dimensional shapes!
