企鹅恐怕是有史以来最可爱的动物之一!我想为课后美术班设计一个既有趣、又契合冬春季节,同时还能适用于广泛年龄段学生(幼儿园至五年级)的项目。在看到托马斯小学一年级的陶土企鹅作品,以及参考了Artsmudge 的陶土猫头鹰和奈特老师“最聪明的小艺术家们”的拇指捏塑猫头鹰所采用的拇指捏塑技法,并联想到某部主题相近的电影;),我受到启发,创作了这个企鹅与冲浪板的陶瓷项目。我们的冲浪企鹅大获成功!家长和孩子们都超爱这个项目!另可参看使用相同拇指捏塑法的类似项目:陶瓷拇指猫头鹰
所需材料: 低温陶土、釉料、陶艺塑形工具、剪刀、水杯
没有电窑怎么办? 可改用克雷奥拉模型黏土(Crayola Model Magic)加丙烯颜料!
教学目标: 运用“拇指捏塑法”制作一只企鹅,并用“泥板成型法”制作一块冲浪板;掌握正确技法并体现良好工艺水准。
教学流程:
- 有趣的企鹅知识:关于企鹅的20个趣味事实(分享适合儿童理解的知识点)
- 电影《冲浪吧!企鹅》短片片段:科迪与大Z一同冲浪
- 陶瓷制作流程: 制作陶瓷作品 → 彻底阴干至少10–14天以上(直至“骨干”状态;具体干燥时间依当地气候而定)→ 窑烧(素烧)→ 施釉 → 再次窑烧(釉烧)
- 陶瓷术语:
- 泥板(Slab): 通过手工堆砌由擀平的陶土薄片构成的侧壁,来塑造陶瓷造型。
- 泥浆(Slip): 呈泥浆状的液态陶土,用于粘接两块陶土部件。
- 刮痕(Score): 在陶土表面刻划纹路,以便粘接两块陶土部件。
制作步骤:
- 给每位学生分发一小团陶土。
- 让学生将非惯用手的拇指蘸湿。
- 将陶土球按压在拇指上,顶部保留约1/2英寸厚的泥壁。
- 轻柔地沿拇指四周挤压陶土,使其向下延展至拇指根部。
- 继续轻柔挤压,塑出企鹅头部形状。
- 轻轻晃动陶土,将其从拇指上取下;提醒学生注意:切勿挤压导致陶土内部的“拇指孔”闭合。
- 取两小团陶土搓成圆球作为眼睛,用“刮痕+泥浆”法粘贴;再用铅笔橡皮头轻轻按压中心定型。
- 另取一小团陶土捏成三角形作为喙,同样以“刮痕+泥浆”法粘贴。
- 用剪刀剪开并向上提起两侧陶土,形成翅膀。
- 向后拉伸并塑形,做出小尾巴。
- 搓两小团陶土作脚掌;先压扁,再用针具在表面刻出三角形“脚趾”(模拟蹼足);最后用“刮痕+泥浆”法将双脚粘贴于身体底部。
- 给每位学生另取一小团陶土制作冲浪板:先轻轻压扁至约1英寸厚;再用1/4英寸厚的木条(我使用两根1/4英寸见方的木 dowel 棒)与擀棒配合,将泥板擀至合适尺寸。
- 用针具裁切冲浪板外形(略大于企鹅本体)。
- **切勿将企鹅直接粘贴到冲浪板上。 否则会封存空气,导致烧制时炸裂!此外,分开烧制也便于素烧后分别施釉。
以下是素烧前的企鹅作品照片:

Penguins have got to be some of the cutest creatures ever created! I wanted a fun project for my After School Art Class that would be good for the winter and early spring season, but also do-able for a wide age range of students (k-5th grades). After seeing Thomas Elementary Art’s First Grade Clay Penguins, the thumb clay technique used on Artsmudge’s Clay Owls and Mrs. Knight’s Smartest Artists’ Clay Thumb Owls, and a certain movie with a similar theme ;), I was inspired to create this penguin and surfboard ceramic project. Our surfer penguins were such a BIG HIT! Parents & kids LOVED this project! Check out a similar project using the clay Thumb Method: Ceramic Thumb Owls
Supplies: Low fire clay, glazes, clay modeling tools, scissors, water cups
Don’t have access to a kiln? Use Crayola Model Magic & Acrylic Paint!
Project Objective: Create a penguin using the “thumb” method and a surfboard using the slab method. Demonstrate proper technique and good craftsmanship.
Delivery:
- Interesting Penguin Facts: 20 Fun Facts About Penguins(Share kid friendly facts)
- Short Video Clip from the movie Surf’s Up: Surf’s Up – Cody and Big Z Surfing together
- Ceramic Process: build ceramic artwork, let dry completely for 10-14+ days minimum (until Bone dry-Dry time based on your location), fire in kiln (Bisque-ware), glaze with ceramic glazes, fire again (Glaze Firing)
- Ceramics Vocabulary:
- Slab: Creating a ceramic form by hand-building walls using flat rolled-out pieces of clay.
- Slip: muddy, liquid clay used to attach two pieces
- Score: to make marks on the clay to attach two pieces

Instructions:
- Give each student a small ball of clay.
- Have them wet their non-dominate thumb.
- Press the ball of clay onto the thumb. Leave about 1/2″ wall at the top.
- Gently squeeze the clay around the thumb until it goes down to the bottom of the thumb.
- Gently squeeze the clay to form the head.
- Wiggle the clay gently off the thumb. Remind students to be careful to NOT squeeze the “thumb” opening in the clay closed.
- Make 2 small balls of clay for the eyes. Use the “score and slip” method to attach them. Press into the center with the eraser of a pencil.
- Form another small ball of clay into a triangle for the beak. Attach with the “score and slip” method
- Use scissors to cut & lift the wings.
- Pull and form a small tail in the back.
- Form 2 small balls for the feet. Flatten the ball then use a needle tool to cut the “toes” in triangles (webbed feet). Use the “score and slip” method to attach feet to body.
- Give each student a small ball for the surf board. have them gently flatten down the ball so it is about an inch thick. Use 1/4″ slats (I use 2 square 1/4″ dowel rods) & a rolling pin to roll the slab down to the correct size.
- Use a needle tool to cut the surf board (slightly larger than the penguin).
- ** Do NOT attach the penguin to the surf board. This will create trapped air! It also makes it easier to glaze the pieces separately after bisque firing.
Here are some pre-fired penguin pictures:
