About This Lesson
Students will explore different kinds of textures and learn how artists might have polished sculptures such as the Olmec Seated Figure. Students will also practice a polishing technique using sandpaper, then create a simple design on the smoothed surface. Appropriate for Early Childhood Education (Pre-K and younger). This activity could be extended into an open-ended activity if the child is interested in making an item. This would open opportunities to learn different mediums and ways to make art.
