We are elbow-deep in clay this week. Well, maybe more like wrist deep. My sixth graders are working on their "Monster Heads" using hand-building techniques like pinch pot, slip and score and molding. Some are more fantastical than others, some are more realistic. I have been doing this assignment since I started teaching--probably the only successful assignment from that year! They end up looking really neat and the students learn techniques that they can build on in seventh and eighth grade (if they end up in Art).
