Auguste Rodin Sculpting Art Lesson for Kids

"I invent nothing, I rediscover."

-Auguste Rodin

Materials: Clay, sculpting tools

By using slabs of clay (modeling) about 1 1/2 inches thick, have the child trace his hand with a tool. Pull away the excess clay cutting out the flat hand. Using their own hands they can mold the fingers into more round finger-like structures...adding small pieces of clay to the knuckle areas and molding together. Smooth out to look more realistic. Each child can be as realistic as they'd like to be!
