My Project

One of my students' favorite times of day is art. I want to show them that there are more mediums to art than 2D drawing and painting. This clay kit will help my students experience their new artistic capabilities as well as creating beautiful dishes for their mothers or other adults in their life.

This is why I am asking for clay, clay tools, acrylic paint, and glaze.

I am hoping that within this project, my students gain a new artistic skill, an appreciation for handmade gifts, and a stronger sense of self esteem within their artistic capabilities.
