DEAR PARENTS/GUARDIANS, FAMILIES, STUDENTS:
         All students created a 3D artifact with real clay.  Students practice fine motor skill development and learn about the clay and or ceramic process.  We used red, terra cotta clay and/or white earthenware clay.  Our clay projects are designed for decorative and interior use.  Our clay is not safe for food.  Kindergarten art students created pinch pots.  First Graders created pattern pots.  Second graders created Pueblo style pinch pots.  Third graders created a clay nature imprint inspired by fossils.  Fourth graders created clay pockets.  Fifth graders created clay relief sculptures.  It is hard work and students did a great job!
Here is a link to one of our recent slideshow presentations.
Have a Happy Winter Break!
Creatively Yours, Ms. Jones, Art Teacher
