Elephants in Class 2

These gorgeous elephants seem to have taken over in Class 2… more clay modelling from Pankaj’s class.

Modelling is developed from the interplay of the hands, which together form an inner space. In modelling, the hands feel the surfaces and learn to combine perception and formation. The underlying principle is the metamorphosis of form.

When children are fully engaged in the task of modelling, they are usually quiet, concentrated, breathing deeply and unaware of their surroundings. They fully explore the properties of the clay – and as you can see here, they develop a strong feeling for the forms they are modelling.
