Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My lovely students are high school juniors and seniors that are learning the fundamentals of ceramics. During this course, they explore this by working with clay through a range of projects using basic handbuilding techniques. Being able to offer this course provides students with the much needed tactile, mental, and emotional break that comes from being a high schooler who transitions from one academic class to the next.

This slip casting project is intended to be inclusive, in fact, no prior experience with clay is needed to make these works spooky of art.

It is because of this little fact that this project is incredibly inclusive. Right next door to our ceramics classroom, we have a small class of Special Education students. Once my ceramics students have slip cast their own works of art and mastered the process, we will invite the Special Education students into our room. With the mentorship and guidance of a ceramic student, the Special Education students will complete a project from start to finish.

I have purchased both vintage pumpkin slip cast molds and a ghost so that students can turn them into their very own lantern just in time for a Halloween party.
