Over 200 Visual Themes for Clay and/or Paper-clay Projects to Order
A thought is born in the hand. Witness human ideas "emerge" from a shapeless lump of soft clay and emerge as hundreds of visual ideas that link human minds in the arts, architecture, humanities, culture, and sciences.
At times we “think by hand ” faster and more clearly than by word. And solutions to most of mankind’s former mystery’s were first understood and communicated only by means of 3D or 2D models, diagrams, or sketches.
Teacher, HomeSchool Parent, or self- directed learners will find this collection of projects a survey of the key concepts taught in every art school. Suggested lesson plans in the appendix give a handy guide that fits in standard curriculum.
