Grade 10 students made coil vessels for their clay unit. I demonstrated various methods of building the vessels: using coils, spirals, balls, swirls, etc. The "scratch & attach" method of joining was crucial for these to hold together. After glazing... drum roll please.... Ta da!
Whilst perusing Pinterest one evening I stumbled upon a ceramic fish wind chime by Anthropologie. Immediately, I knew I needed to create something similar...but with egg cartons. Because A) it seems obvious in this application and B) egg cartons are the epitome of versatile, despite the very defined shape. I'm telling you, they are pretty rad to work with. Find out why egg cartons are fun and find egg carton inspiration here and here.Check out the beautiful ceramic fish inspiration by Anthropol

This simple and fun project introduces kids to the art of pottery and offers them a glimpse into how ancient peoples created the very first Neolithic pottery.
The Ancient Greek Pottery project was part of an integrated unit which included the study of Ancient Greece in ELA, Social Studies, Visual Arts and Drama. In Art class, the students were introduced to the history, significance and various forms of pottery in Ancient Greece. They created their Ancient Greek pots using the coil method of hand building and took their time to adjust the shape and smooth the coils as they constructed their pot. The shape of the pots resemble the Amphora pot and the designs are inspired by those on actual Ancient Greek Pots.

This project pack includes: ➢Lesson Plan with big idea, essential questions, national standards, step by step instructions, vocabulary, and supply list ➢PowerPoint ➢Pinch pot whistle how to hand out: with visual and verbal step by step instructions ➢Clay wedging checklist ➢Rubric ➢Critique sheet My students love this assignment and every year they impress me even more with their creativity. I encourage them to break out of the round whistle shape and create something new. I've seen seashells, elephants, hedgehogs, and beautiful abstract designs.

(15 videos) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5O2mJELhRg&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL Sample for the chalkboard/interactive whiteboard Materials Per Student: Both a large and small paint brush A selection of glazes in egg carton, one carton per four students A large container of water, one per four students A paper towel Amount of clay approximating the size of a tennis ball per student is used for the modeling of this object A variety of clay printing and modeling tools (wood chips, shells, pencils, clay stamps, etc...) Each student will need one burlap placemat to keep his/her working space clean and also to prevent clay from sticking to their counter space while he/she works Vocabulary/Terminology: pinch - to form clay between the fingers and the palm coil - a rope-like formation of clay slab - a evenly rolled or pressed layer of clay bisque - is clay that has been fired but not yet glazed ceramics - are objects created from stoneware, porcelain or terra cotta clay - soil, water and sand fire - is the name for the heat that is used in a kiln glaze - a glass paint used on pottery kiln - a special oven used for hardening clay greenware - pottery that is not yet fired in a kiln leather hard - the hard condition of clay when it is almost air-dry score - roughen the clay's surface so that a bond may be formed between two surfaces sculpture - a three-dimensional art work slip - a liquid clay used to glue two pieces together texture - press into the clay surface with objects to create a pattern, design or rough surface radial design – a type of design based upon a spinning, circular pattern Motivation- Looking and Talking Activity: The teacher will read aloud a Native American folk tale, “How and Why: The Painted Turtle – Sauk” Step-by-Step Studio Activity Specifics: Roll your clay ball in the palms of your hands, do not flatten the clay but compact it into a smooth firm ball for two minutes. Gently press and turn, press and turn the ball into a hamburger shape onto your burlap mat. Repeat this process until the hamburger shape is a bit larger than the palm of your hand. If your clay shows signs of cracking, you may add water droplets to the surface of the clay and rub them into the clay as you work. Slowly press in the middle of the clay shaped hamburger then turn the clay clockwise, pressing down and out to shape a pancake like slab. Do this step repetitively, and slowly until the round slab shape measures approximately five to six inches in diameter. Press into the clay with a variety of clay printing tools to create a radial design. Now take the second ball of clay that your teacher gives you and divide it evenly into five equal parts. Roll all five parts into five, smooth little balls. Then slightly roll out those five little balls into five “worm shaped” coils. Not snake shapes! Stubby worm shapes are what you need. Turn your larger turtle shell slab over and place it in the middle of your burlap placemat. The teacher should demonstrate with her own sample to his or her students how to score the clay with a pencil and then add tiny drops of water to the scored surface, pressing the attached legs and head with the palms of their hands spread flat against the clay joints. Crush soft paper towels and place a firm wad on top of the undecorated slab shell surface. Turn the pancake shaped slab over. Shape the turtle shell into a “taco” like shape. Gently position the legs and head of the turtle to your satisfaction. Carve a little smile and dot two eyes on your turtle’s head. Pinch a little tail at the back end of it’s shell. Do not remove the crushed paper until the turtle hardens over night. Remove the paper before firing the greenware. After the turtle has been fired, students may glaze three coats of every color at the very least in order to properly cover ceramic pots. Try not to apply glaze to the bottom surface edges of the turtle feet if it can be helped.
