Clay Coil Pot

I was the teacher for this clay lesson. Everyone created their own coil pot that had to be at least five coils high. It was made out of air-dry clay. Students had to learn how to wedge and slip & score to build their pot. The students had to either add texture, paint , or they were able to even do both if they wanted.
Extension Activity: I would incorporate this into a science lesson. Each student would create their own coil pot and then we would plant a seed in it. The students would watch their plant grow and learn about what the essential things are that a plant needs to be able to grow.

Dot Project

During class today, we learned about the dot. We got to make an art project with a coffee filter and experiment to see how different types of drawing utensils would react on the filter. On my filter I chose to use oil pastels and then I used markers to make the color blead when I painted the water on it. Where I used the oil pastels in rejected the water. Extension Activity: I would post dots all over the school and have the students go on a hunt to find them.The studnets would also have to find an object around the school that looks like a dot as well and take a picture of it with their shcool camera or ipad. This will be perfect to get the studnets up and moving.

Name Drawing

In this drawing lesson it was focused on creating lines. We used a white piece of paper and had to create our name or nickname in the center of the paper. We traced our name in black sharpie and then then were told to shade our name in a solid color. The rest of the paper had to be filed with a bunch of different patterns. We had to incorporate different drawing tools I used crayons, markers and colored pencils. Extension Activity: An extension activity for this project would be to have the students write a paragraph about why they picked the designs for the background of their drawing. I would also have students write about what their favorite colors are.
