In this class, students will explore the foundations of ceramics to create both non-functional and functional works of art. This class focuses on handbuilding with clay in addition to various painting and color theory techniques to push our projects to the next level. Our goal is to express ourselves through clay and paint, experience new techniques, and prove to ourselves that with time and practice, anyone can be an artist.

   No matter the skill level, participating in the arts regularly does wonders for the mind and soul. In addition to this, student-led art projects pave the way for students to express their creativity while teaching them perseverance, problem solving, patience, and fine motor skills. Communication and literacy skills are practiced by focusing on the critique method (describe, analyze, interpret, & evaluate). Learning to appreciate and partake in the arts is beneficial to all students.

"A simple line painted with the brush can lead to freedom and happiness." - Joan Miró 

"To practice any art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow. So do it." -Kurt Vonnegut
