Clay Project

 

Summary: In this project lesson, we learned about different types of clay and their different processes. We got shown examples of what other artists use clay for. Our instructions for this project were to create a plate that symbolizes ourselves. We used a variety of different clay tools to create our projects. We were instructed to create trinket plates with added and subtracted pieces. We also had to use at least two different colors to paint our plates with.

Extension Activity: An extension activity for this project could be to have the students create something that they can use in their everyday lives. This could be a variety of different things, including plates, cups, bowls, etc. I would have my student explain how they are going to use it and have them decorate it with added and subtracted pieces that express themselves.
