Clay Club - a solution to a time crunch






So as I have mentioned before I teach art to a large school. My classes meet for less than 30 minutes each week. So this leaves little time for projects such as clay. My friend Debs- teaches a clay club at her school so I decided to seek her advice in creating my own. This consisted of me calling her and asking for very detailed information about her club so that I could copy it;). My clay club lasted for only 6 weeks. ( Meeting for 75 minutes once a week) Students completed 3 pieces during that time. A frog on a lily pad, a turtle , and a vase.
Thanks Deb.
I was a bit worried, because I have no confidence in my clay making abilities. But in the end it was worth every minute. The kids loved it- and we got to display our work in the official display case in the front of the school. Here are some of our projects:

Its like you read my mind! You seem to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or something.
I think that you can do with a few pics to drive the message
home a little bit, but instead of that, this is fantastic blog.
An excellent read. I'll definitely be back.
