Self Portraits with Silk Clay
SKU

Children's personal and spatial intelligence is enhanced by this creative project when creating self-portraits and when modelling and mixing colours. When children depict themselves, they increase their self-awareness (self-wise) – and similarly by reproducing their own skin, hair and eye colour. They demonstrate how they see and understand themselves (self-wise). Children's spatial intelligence is enhanced when modelling and mixing different modelling clay colours to make the actual colours, thus learning how different colours react with each other.
Creative idea
How to do it
1
Use white, light brown and a small amount of red as shown for a light skin colour mix in Silk Clay.
2
Model the Silk Clay balls together until the colour is uniform.
3
Form the head and place it onto the base of the collage frame.
4
Push Foam Clay onto the base of the collage frame as the background. Now you may add hair, eyes, mouth, etc. mixed or modelled in Silk Clay.
Image-wise
Spatial intelligence. Enhanced by activities in which children must use their abilities to perceive, recognise and express themselves within the spatial, real world.
Self-wise
Personal intelligence. Enhanced by activities in which children must use their self-awareness, the ability to act and make personal decisions in a way which is adapted to match their surroundings.
