Grades: 9-12

Students take on the role of artists who must prepare artwork for exhibition in a "gallery." The artists develop the ability to construct a finished product using slab, coil, and pinch hand building techniques to develop three clay pieces so that the community can see their creative concept in a successful 3D form. In doing so, the artist deals with perspectives and artistic intentions in creating ceramic works of art.
