Editor's Notes

  1. Linda Intro - Congrats on Excellence in Teaching Award! Overview: Look at Clay Classroom Project Ideas Adaptable / Grade Levels Connect to CORE Curriculum & Visual Arts standards Kits for HANDS-ON examples of projects
  2. New Visual Arts Standards, launched in 2014: 4 Core Anchor Standards to identify Key concepts of Art Education CREATING PRESENTING RESPONDING CONNECTING Customize handbook at NationalArtsStandards.org
  3. About me! Grew up in Beirut, Lebanon during the war Personally had very little Arts education or even Sports Missed a lot of school Focused on Math, Science, Language, History, Geography; “essentials” Later, Art provided an outlet for self-expression
  4. Narrative Tile Murals Autobiographical Tile work in grad school and afterwards About TRAVEL, Transition, and Fragmentation of my Family Worked at Pewabic Pottery Learned a lot about Glazing and Tile-making
  5. Now work at Amaco TEACHing clay & glaze workshops Degree not in Art Education, but 20+ years experience Primarily teach PD training for Art Educators + Intensive summer classes
  6. Develop Lesson Plans With team of Clay Artists & Art Educators Focus: Curriculum-based Project Sheets Address National Arts Standards
  7. And teach clay Techniques, Processes, & Surface Treatment Tie into Core Curriculum Cultural History, Science, (Math, Reading) Address fundamentals of design and working with clay (Coil, Pinch, Slab)
  8. Available ON-LINE at AmacoLessonPlans.com Printable PDF’s NEW WEBSITE where you can share lesson plans How-To instructional videos
  9. Hands-On: get clay out Clay: Brown Stone Earthenware (# 29) Wide firing range: Cone 05-5 Formulated for Cone 05 firing to look buff, like Stoneware
  10. Great Science Project (HANDS-ON) Recreate skeletal structure out of clay More interactive by: Bury skeleton for another class to excavate The representation can be this elaborate, or…
  11. Simplified: layout on sketch or printout Research & sketches of the anatomy Students can write a report, Extinct or Not? Model & sculpt the vertebrae, skull & bones
  12. Dinosaur Bones lesson teaches… Science of Paleontology History & Archaeology Learning about proportion & how parts fit together
  13. The Science of Astronomy Complexity level is adaptable: Flat tiles vs sculpting in Relief Advanced students: Proportion & Color may be Representational Or the design could be Cartoon-like & more Graphic
  14. Process Use of Materials: Underglaze Applicator to block out shapes Use Glaze to mimic stars, planets, meteorites and moons Drawing Geometric & Celestial shapes Composition, creating illusion of depth
  15. Culture & Social Studies Develop representational skills while learning about other cultural traditions Expansion: make plates & serving dishes to represent the specific culture
  16. Process (HANDS-ON) Breakfast? Modeling & sculpting the food – teaches Culinary skills Clay can be painted with underglaze during construction process
  17. Examples of Food originating from different cultures Opportunity to Explore various Surface Treatment options To Glaze or not to? Glossy or Matte “Room Temperature” glaze options Depending on the desired surface quality of the form
  18. Introduce the History of Majolica Impact of trade routes on Ceramics Developed by Middle Eastern potters to Imitate Chinese Porcelain Covering red clay with Tin-based Opaque white glaze On non-flowing surface Painterly water-color effect
  19. Incorporate Geometry into Design & Composition Students learn about Angles & Degrees As they create their own design templates “Protractors” are used on flat OR circular forms To center and design their composition
  20. Teach children about managing Money Inspired by Book: Townsley, Germain and Willy Adaptable to various construction techniques & skill levels Cup form & color could be reflective of its purpose
  21. Pinch Pot version (HANDS-ON) 3 Equal Spheres of clay – make a simple pinch pot Coiled foot Scoring & slip or vinegar
  22. Handles & Saucer Thick Coil handle (or sculpted) Saucer: Flat disk/slab Add foot Dry upside down or press over a form to raise the lip
  23. Feet Variations Coil Flattened disk (patty) Other?
  24. Finished Cup Examples Various pinch-pot skill levels Reading, Math & Social Studies
  25. Project teaches Carving & Printing Carving designs 2 different ways: Line carving to print color only Relief carving to emboss texture Undercuts & One-piece mold Reversing Image
  26. Eg of Repeating Patterns with Color Printing Explore Radial Symmetry Two techniques for multi-color printing: Paint before stamping or Create multiple stamps with Registration points
  27. Teaching Art History and Cubism Introductory approach to Portraiture Transfer sketches/ cut-out silhouttes of facial features Layering Textured slabs Sculpting in relief
  28. Selfies Using 21st Century Skills as starting point for sketches Camera’s front lens allows us to see our features from multiple angles
  29. Figure & Portrait Sculpture Also Non-representational approach Caricature uses humor Plus symbolism to represent Chosen subject matter, eg. Mythology, Politics, Sports, etc…
  30. Different Skill Levels Complete figure versus Bust Building hollow or Solid Self-expression & personalization
  31. Modeling the head (HANDS-ON) Just some step-by-step “tips” Head & Neck Lines: Placement of Features Teeth & Lips
  32. Lip completion Nose (pyramid) Nostrils (use stylus tool or pencil)
  33. Eye sockets (inset, not bulging) Eyelids Eyes & Pupils
  34. Cheek-bones Flattened Tear-Drops
  35. Ears Placement
  36. Eyebrows – texture to attach Hair is a SHAPE
  37. Examples drying Standing or Hanging/ Laying down How to support or balance the figures Newspaper armature – remove at leatherhard
  38. Examples of projects from other teachers: Vessels Inspired by Nature Lesson Plan by Robin Johnson Students research Botany & explore seed pod formations Create personal interpretations as vessels Artist’s Statements about how their forms relate to Nature
  39. Personal Mythology Lesson plan by Christina/Cat Traen, Rancho High School Dynamic teacher, High-level of expectation & work Student artwork & demo at Amaco booth Using Sculptural symbolism to tell life stories
  40. “Exquisite Creature” Assignment examines concept such as “truth is stranger than fiction” & “the extraordinary ordinary” Sculpting Human Figure Personal expression (Activation of space)
  41. In Conclusion We are all passionate about clay and want to keep Ceramics in the classroom! Utilize versatility of Clay to continue Adapting to the changing curriculum requirements Keep in mind that the Standards are also in place to help inform policy makers about our art programs
  42. Supporting K-12 Visual Art Education Join the STEM versus STEAM movement (RISD website) Science Technolgy Engineering ART Math
  43. Teacher support websites like the Art of Education – On-line conferences & workshops Tips like organizing tools in clay classroom
  44. National K12 Clay Foundation Wonderful NCECA annual exhibition College Scholarship opportunities for juried exhibition winners
  45. FaceBook Groups K-12 Clay Community Low-Fire Glaze Exchange Share and receive ideas & information Technical Support
