Photography:
Actors and clay -
First Will was given a print of his Eiffel Tower photo, a mat, and a frame, and challenged with framing his photo. He was shown how to center the photo and attach it to the mat. He signed the mat. He cleaned and used canned air to assure there was no dust on the glass, before framing the print. We framed one print for his room and one print for him to give to his grandfather. We hung the photo on the wall using a hammer and nail. With that task completed, Will worked on creating the character Mark, from plastalina clay and a wood form. This type of clay is primarily used in Claymation movies, because it does not harden and remains plastic for easy motion. Mark, the dog, required a coat of brown, so Will was instructed how to make a “sheet” of clay, and cut it to size, to lay over the dog form. Will was able to complete 85% of Mark by the end of class time.
