Clay Boxer - Brindle

Ahhh... the boxer, who has a reputation for keeping himself clean, so we gave him the "pure heart" award when we studied the beatitudes. This video shows how to make the whole body, too, but sometimes I just do a head, flatten it a bit, and glue a huge magnet on the back.  This saves money on clay when you have a large class, helps students concentrate more on the details of the face, and gets done a little faster. To give him a "brindle" look, have the students mix a little black clay with the brown, but don't mix it too much... you want to be able to see the black streaks in the brown background.
