Wax and Clay Modelling enlivens the imagination and brings thinking into the will. Simple exercises in coloured beeswax enable children to explore the different ways we can use our hands, how through working harmoniously together, through the gentle coaxing of pinching and squeezing, plying and compressing, cupping and rolling, our hands can bring about a myriad of imaginative forms: softly spherical and rounded, solid or hollow, pointy or blunt etc. there are numerous possibilities to create birds and nests, animals in their dens, as well as simple figures in a variety of poses. Clay, which is an earthier medium, can best wait until Class 2, when with more variety and interest such as pottery.
