CLAY GARGOYLES and GROTESQUES 
Written by: Joann Trimarco [Joann is a teacher at Grace Lutheran School in Queens, New York.]

Grade: 7-8
Age: 13-14

Activity Summary:

Students can make gargoyles using self-hardening clay.

What You Need:

  • pencil
  • 9"x 12" drawing paper
  • self-hardening clay
  • pictures of Gargoyles from the internet and the library

What You Do:

  • After a lecture and discussion on what gargoyles are the students created their own designs.
  • They had to draw sketches of their creations for homework, then they had to hand sculpt their forms in clay.
  • I demonstrated different techniques they could use; coils, slabs, balls etc.
  • Their creative juices began to flow and the result was very unique.
  • There were tongues sticking out, horns coming out of heads and huge eyes!
