This lesson plan gives students the opportunity to learn about the Renaissance artist Ghiberti, while they create a small relief out of clay.

  • Vocabulary words and definitions
  • References to additional resources
  • Simple art project instructions
  • Materials list (This project works well with store-bought clay or homemade clay.)
  • Three homemade clay recipes to chose from
    • (I used my Mom’s Clay recipe for the gold bird relief and Cornstarch clay for the silver bird relief in the photos.)
  • Options for scaling the art project up or down depending on the experience level of your art students
  • Step-by-step pictorial instructions for “How to Create a Clay Bird Relief”
