A couple of days ago, we looked at some amazing posters drawn by the participants of the turtle camps. Today, we’re going to look at some of the samples of turtle-related “artwork” that they made with plasticine 
This has got two turtles, and both turtles have eyes like Ultraman, said my sister. It has got a polka-dot fish and two nudibranchs as well! It has also got a starfish, and a ray.
Seriously, I am not too sure if I’ve got that level of creativity in me!
The turtles made by this particular group looked nicer, more refined, and more REAL, right? You know why? Because the turtles weren’t made by the students! In fact, J made them for his group, and expectedly, students from other groups started pestering their facilitators to help them make turtles that looked nicer than those produced by J’s group.
Some students in my group even insisted that facilitators shouldn’t help their group because they thought it wasn’t fair. Actually, everybody just wanted to win so badly.
And whoever told the students that seahorses hold on to sea grasses THAT way?! Brilliant, aren’t they?
The naughty students in this particular group decided to make a man eating turtle eggs, so I told them this group wouldn’t win the plasticine competition. You should have just seen their faces! They all looked like they wanted to kill the person who contributed the idea!

Thos are some really talented students
They are totally cool! Very impressive.
I actually liked the ‘man eating turtle egg’ one…pretty artistic if you ask me. Not appropriate for the type of camp they were attending but artistic nonetheless…I liked the Nemo looking fish in the first pic as well. These students are great at art man…
wow.. they even know what nudibranches are….
I think a few of them are divers
wah co cute so cute sooooo cute!
Long time didn’t play with plasticine liao.
And for the first time I learn about Nudibranch from you. ^^
Very nice. I think creativity is nurtured by supporting the natural tendency of kids to seek understanding. And it is nurtured by supporting attempts to find creative solutions to problems, creative expression… But really I think more than it being nurtured it is killed. The main effort we need to make is to stop killing it not in nurturing it. I like this example: http://engineering.curiouscatblog.net/2006/10/02/what-kids-can-learn/
Kids are wonderful & can be mischievous at the same time. But, it is really encouraging to see how much effort they put in to complete the assigned tasks. A good go!!
I’m impressed by these artworks. It’s creative, simple but most importantly they will remember in the future that they had previously worked their ways to protect the environment, and they must continue to care for the nature. Good job done!
Very creative. I am very impressed. Very talented students. I like it very much.
It is a great idea to use this material in working with small children, and very funny.
