Kinder- Van Gogh Ceramic Stars

Kindergarteners made these adorable stars just before our holiday break. We looked at "The Starry Night" and talked about lines and texture. We used a star shaped cookie cutter to cut them out of a slab of clay after the students had created textures with a variety of tools. Old marker caps were a big hit! After the stars were bisque fired, they were painted with tempera. I added a coat of glossy mod podge for protection and also tied a piece of twine through the hole for them. They were so excited to take these home. It was great!
