This week students made clay pots and continued learning about the concept of "integrity" and about the skill of creating something with a proper function.
Clay is always enjoyed by students! They were instructed, however, to make pots with thick, strong walls without holes. If there were a hole or a crack, then the pot would not achieve its purpose "in life" -- to hold water. Please see your art handouts for more details and explanation as well as tips on how to paint the pots during the break.
See you next week for mosaic planning!
