Sketching a Face in Clay
Channel: Grant Thomas

Before having your students make an Ugly Jug or Face Jug, its a good idea to have them sketch with clay and make a face.  Its a little different skill set than just sketching two dimensionally.

After your students have created a basic clay turtle (see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypGRBTAXVO8 ) they can decorate by adding textures.  My students put maps on the backs of their turtles.
