The third and fourth graders recently conpleted making their clay soul shakers. A soul shaker is a clay rattle that has personal meaning to the artist. The students learned about rattles around the world and through-out time. They were able to identify the use of rattles for ceremonies, music, entertainment, and to occupy a baby or child. Students designed a variety of clay rattles after learning the steps to construct a usable clay rattle. Some students created human or animal-themed soul shakers while other decorated their rattles with various lines and patterns. We will be glazing our soul shakers towards the end of next week.
Many of the soul shakers are in the art show. Come check them out!
