Art II Clay Project We don't have a kiln at my school yet so I only do one clay project a year right now because I have to take them to another school to fire them. So, I try to keep their projects kind of small. For my Art II class I had them construct clay boxes. In the assignment they had to construct the clay box and create a theme for their boxes. To express their theme they had to have some sort of 3D element on each side of the box. Materials: Clay Variety of clay tools (at least have some plastic knives to cut clay slabs) Rolling pins Paper towels Water Rulers ( To measure out slabs) Plastic bags to wrap up projects when students are not working A kiln Acrylic paint and brushes Clear shiny acrylic spray ( To finish project and make it shiny) Student Examples
