Expressive Pinch Pot Sculptures

img_7212

Seventh grade students have been working on expressive sculptures.  To begin this project, students were randomly assigned an emotion or expression to illustrate in clay.  We emphasized the creation of three-dimensional form, rather than just drawing into the clay.  Texture was added as a finishing detail.

This photo was taken as I was loading up the kiln on Friday.  Now that they have been bisque fired, students will be working on painting these with acrylic paints.  Stay tuned for pictures of the finished work!
