Teach To Learn: Clay Modeling

I STAND CORRECTED. Clay modeling is not for anyone. Since it was so easy for me, I assume it'll be the same for everyone, but man, was I wrong!









I came up with some ideas I found on the net, but none of the kids (of St.Joseph's Orphanage) were able to follow my lead. Not even the adult helpers, for that matter! sigh....I let them down since I convinced them that I would be able to teach them in matter of hours. Guess you need some kind of arty hands to be able to make the creation looks good.









But above all, we had fun nonetheless. And I was kinda sad, since this was my last stint with St.Joseph's cause we'll be moving to Singapore soon. I will definitely continue this kinda sharing there, but I'll miss these kids. And they seem to have grown to like me too!! huaaaaaa!









With some practice and lots and lots of patience, clay modeling can be very rewarding. Below are some snapshots of my latest creation:

You made it look really easy. I haven't attempted any yet (not at the moment, too many things to take care of) but your artwork is really impressive.

Moving to Singapore? When? Why? It was a shame that we didn't get to meet often when I was back in Penang. I was juggling too many things at that time. Anyhow, I hope you will continue to blog because I really enjoy reading your experience and ideas.

All the best!
