These clay medallion art projects will keep your students busy & engaged while creating both a 2D & 3D project!  This cross-curricular art lesson designed for 3rd- 5th grades and up includes literacy connections (homophones) and is purposely designed so your students may still work on the project while the clay dries! 

This highly engaging student favorite project includes everything needed for a successful project and includes social-emotional learning (SEL).  It is perfect any time of year and may be used with seasonal designs if desired.
