1st grade was so excited to work with clay. They learned how to start with a sphere of clay and work it into a pinch pot form. After they created and smoothed their pinch pot, they added various textures using clay tools, noodles, etc. When the pots were dry they were fired in our kiln and the students painted and sealed their forms. They couldn't wait to take them home and show them to their families.4th grade learned about style of dot painting from Australia. The students learned how the aborigines created their own paint and all the different places they created their artwork. We discussed the symbols used in this style of artwork and how the artwork was used to pass on ancient stories. The students created their own dot painting after choosing an animal as well as several symbols to tell their story.
