Diwali Diyas are oil lamps with cotton wicks that are lit during Diwali, the Festival of Lights, and adorn homes, shops, and public areas. Traditionally, they are made with earthen clay and can be plain or decorated, and symbolize lightness over darkness or good over evil.
The 2nd grade students developed their abilities to form a simple pinch pot and add details and textures. They first practiced creating a pinch pot with red dough and experimented with a variety of shapes and added details. On the next day of class, the students used air dry clay to form their final clay diya. During the following class day, they painted their divas with acrylic paint. Their final step will be adding glitter glue. We are all very excited to see how they will turn out!
