Objective of the Learning Engagement: Creating   Animal Sculpture by using their observation and creativity skills Details of the Learning Engagement: This exercise was to help improve students' observation skills. They were provided with plastic animals and were asked to incorporate any 3 specific feature of the animal into their sculpture. The whole idea of the exercise was not to copy the same animal but observe specific features and practice that using clay. While learning to sculpt they also practiced on the basics of using clay. It's an ongoing activity. Impact of the engagement on students and reflection as a teacher: It was interesting to see the little details they observed and also how creative they got while adding attributes of their own choice. A good blend of observation and creative skills. Pictures: - Tinni Arora
