As part of our Arts Integration program I want my students to learn more about clay, starting with some basics of visual arts (line, shape, form, texture), learning some of the uses of clay, how to use it (coil, slab, pinch, pot) and its origins. We will also learn about Dave the Potter, how Government created conditions in which African-Americans were enslaved and denied access to, among other things, education. I'll explain why Dave the Potter’s work was important in the past and why it is important now in the present. The CLAY will be the protagonist together with their unique creativity and imagination. After learning a little history, we will get into using clay to create basic forms and familiarize ourselves with it. Finally the students will create letters for the Italian alphabet to be displayed in the classroom during the school the year.
