We've been very busy in the art room. Third grade finished Victorian Architecture drawings in early December, then spent a few classes learning about Maria Martinez and her coil pottery. I completed demonstrations of clay building techniques using coils. This first week back, every third grade student has learned how to set up the table with clay tools, make a base and many have begun building a clay vessel with coils.
Since my hands are always in the clay, I have no pictures of the phenomenon that is 25 children working with and cleaning up clay in 45 minutes. The perimeter of my room is lined with perfectly wrapped projects waiting to be completed.
