Our Grade 7s have been hard at work learning about early humans with Ms. Ramen in Socials class! We invited a artist in residence to come in and teach us how to sculpt a human skull out of clay. After sculpting, they were fired in the kiln. Then, we glazed the skulls and they will be fired a final time. We can’t wait to see the final product soon!
Some questions we suggest parents/guardians can discuss at home:
- What features did you include in your skull model? What species of hominin did you choose to create?
- How does your model skull look similar or different from our own (real) skulls?
- How old do you imagine your skull is? What conditions was it in (ex: desert, water)?
