My sweet second graders are really excited to finally take their clay tiles home. This project was part of our Middle Eastern culture study – we looked at images of the beautiful tiles found in shrines in Iran and learned about radial symmetry before creating our own tiles.
Tile Work – Iran
Glazed tiles waiting for gold wire and sparkly beads.
All the lovely beads – ready to add to our tiles!
Finished tiles, ready to take home and hang!
These are gorgeous! This will be a perfect project to add to my Islamic Art unit- thank you so much for sharing!
You bet! They are even nicer in person. The gold acrylic paint added after glazing them really made the tiles “pop”.
Awesome blog….! Clay is a medium that lends itself to a variety of craft projects. Clay Tiles/a> take any shape you desire with a minimum of difficulty.
Thanks.
