This gentle herbivore lived in the late Jurassic period. Stegasaurus is best known for the fact that it was an herbivore and had two rows of armoured plates that ran along it’s back and tail. Scientists now illustrate this dinosaur with a spiky tail held up in the air for protection while its head remained low to the ground in order to eat vegetation. Students learn different hand building techniques that will allow them to successfully create this amazing creature that once roamed the earth.
- Learn how big the Stegasaurus actually was, based on fossil evidence.
- Look at images and discuss what Stegasaurus may have eaten and how they may have protected themselves from larger predators.
- Learn basic hand building skills will be explored and the instructor will take students through a step by step process of how to model a Stegasaurus using clay and clay tools.
- Learn basic clay hand building techniques and specific art methodologies that they can implement into their own classrooms.

Preparation for Teachers:
Please bring your confirmation letter and AHF locations map with you. Field trips start and end as indicated on your confirmation letter. If bussing is late, instructors may modify your field trips in order to finish on time. Field trips are booked 30 minutes apart to allow for cleanup and preparation for the next class. Please be mindful of walking students through a public space and keep voices low while removing coats in the Visual Art hallway outside of the studios. Teachers will receive an email when clay projects are ready for pick up at the St. Albert Place Painting Studio approximately two weeks after the field trip takes place. Projects can be painted back in the classroom with acrylic paint.
