how to make clay that doesn't need to be baked

Today I am going to teach you how to make clay. This clay does not need to be baked. Here are some examples of actual sculptures made from clay:

What you will need

• 2 cups of baking soda
• 1 and 1/4 cup of water
• 1 cup cornstarch

Instructions

• Mix the ingredients in a sauce pan, slowly add the water. Continue stirring the mixture while heating it over medium heat. (4-5 min) when it is almost as thick as play dough, the clay is done.
• Remove from heat.
• Pour mixture onto a clean surface.
• Shape clay into figures
• Let it dry and harden
• Paint it (optional)

Origami

Today I am going to teach you how to make origami out of paper. I am not going to explain the instructions in words, but in pictures because explaining would make it way more complicated for you to understand. I am going to teach you how to make Penguins, Giraffes, Swans, Birds, Parrots and  Gold Fish.

What you will need

• Preferred coloured paper.

Abstract

Today I am going to teach you how to make an abstract painting or drawing. Abstract is existing in thought or as an idea but not having physical or concrete existence. Wassily Kandinsky was the first to create an abstract portrait. Here are some examples of Abstract art:

What you will need

• A canvas or paper.
• Paint or markers.
• Paintbrush (only if using paint)

Instructions

• On the canvas or paper, draw your design lightly in pencil.
• Paint or colour the basic design in the marks from the pencil.
• Then detail your picture with designs like the last picture.

Abstract can be about anything that you choose to do, anything you want it to be. I think of abstract as a way to express your feelings just like Picasso and his blue period and his rose period.

DIY Mosaics

Today I am going to teach you how to make a Mosaic. A mosaic is a picture or decoration made of small, usually coloured pieces of inlaid glass, tile, marble.  They don't have to be made of these specific materials, you could also use buttons, beads, small pieces of wood, etc.  Anything you could get your hands on.  Below, is an example of a mosaic made of small pieces of tile and glass:

What you will need:

•  A base.  Usually the base is made of wood or tile for a small project. Big projects ar usually on a wall.
• Mosaic glue. DON'T USE REGULAR GLUE IF YOU ARE USING TILE! If you use regular glue, then the tile will fall. You can use  regular glue for small projects that include paper, felt plastic etc.
• Grout.
• Glaze. When you are done you glaze the project to make it smooth and shiny.
• A spatula. To apply grout.

Instructions

• Select the material that you would like to use.
• Pick a base.
• Find a pattern you wish to make into a mosaic.
• Start you pattern.
