Due to a funding shortage, we have had to sacrifice ceramics for just basic art supplies for drawing, painting and mixed media. The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them the opportunity to experience ceramics at some level. Fired ceramics and being able to throw on a wheel is way beyond our available funds so the air-dry clay will let them use their imaginations to create pinch pots, bowls, figurines and many more items with their bare hands. The super dough can be used before actual clay crafting, as a testing medium, so the students can built their project before using the actual clay. The super dough can be used repeatedly since it never dries. The clay cutters and slicers will enable them to cut off portions small enough to work with, the tool sets will enable the students to carve designs into their creations, and the mod podge is used as a sealer glue, a quick finish, a textured finish, or a build-up finish to complete their project and protect it either in a matte finish or glossy finish. Being able to create art from clay can positively affect my students work and give them the motivation to persevere in spite of obstacles. One day we might be able to get a kiln and increase the options we have to help us grow even more!
