Description: Students created a square pottery piece using clay. First, students shaped and smoothed their square base. Using the remaining clay, students added three raised or carved designs on top of the piece. Each design represented something meaningful about the student, such as a hobby, interest, symbol, or personal trait. Students learned basic clay techniques, including shaping, attaching, and scoring and slipping, while exploring how texture, shape, and form can be used to express personal identity through pottery.
Extension Activity: Students will write a short statement explaining the meaning behind each of their three designs. Students then will write a passage to compare how working with clay is different from drawing or painting.
