Clay Ice Cream Cone Lesson
All grade levels were able to create clay pieces. I focused my lesson plan on the 2nd grade project which were clay ice cream cones. The students were really able to decorate their ice cream cones how they wanted so that each was extremely unique. This project taught students how to work three-dimensionally and introduced them to the techniques of scoring, slipping, squishing, and sealing.

THE OBJECTIVES
The student will be able to create a three-dimensional ice cream cone out of clay using the techniques of scoring, slipping, sealing, cutting, and smoothing. (Bloom’s: Apply; Standard: Comprehend, GLE: Characteristics and expressive features of art and design are used to identify and discuss works of art)
The student will be able to add at least two unique details to their ice cream cone, either using texture or shape. (Bloom’s: Create, Standard: Create, GLE: Use familiar symbols to identify and demonstrate characteristics and expressive features of art and design)
The student will be able to choose specific colors to paint their ice cream cone making it realistic or abstract, and then be able to justify what specific choices he/she made. (Bloom’s: Analyze, Standard: Reflect, GLE: Visual arts use various literacies to convey intended meaning)
The student will be able to participate in a discussion on how artists use clay and respond to yes or no questions. (Bloom’s: Understand, Standard: Transfer, GLE: Visual arts respond to human experience by relating art to the community)
