On Friday, my last class of 3rd graders glazed their cubes. This process took a total of two class periods to complete. I pulled out my tubes of Spectrum Raised Accent colors in black (of which I received when I ordered the Nasco Spectrum Tile kit last year). I instructed students to paint over their carved lines with the black glaze, and then to paint in their squares. When one side was finished, they rotated the cube and did the next side.
If you remember from my first post in this series, students were able to choose from four different color families to design their cube...they didn't have to do just primary colors. I set up four stations at my tables...one for each color family (primary, secondary, warm and cool), with two different glazes for each color.
One class's glazed cubes! These were all loaded into the kiln and fired on Friday, just in the nick of time for art show set-up on Monday of next week!!! I can't wait to get to school Monday morning to see them!
And of course in my haste to get them loaded in the kiln 2nd period, I forgot to load my cube!!!
Part 4: Finished Cubes Coming soon!
