Clay Tokens
Tokens….little things that we love and cherish, they are precious little objects. This clay sculpting lesson allows students to create a little figurine of something that is important to them. It can be literal or representational, but they must create a written statement accompanying their project when they turn it in explaining why they sculpted what they did and why it is important to them.
