5th Grade students are creating coiled pinch pots. Students started by learning about clay, where it comes from, and what it has been used for throughout human history. Students learned the difference between functional pottery and sculptural clay art. Students started by learning how to create a basic pinch pot. Students then learned how to create coils to build up the walls of the pinch pot. Students were introduced to the technique of "scoring and slipping" which is used to attach pieces of clay together. Students will then use acrylic paint to add color to their functional works of art.
