This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
In my elementary school, we love to use clay! Each year, I create art lessons for kindergarten through fourth grade that involve ceramics! The science behind clay and ceramics, gives my students the art experience they all love. During these lessons, I'm charged with creating slabs of clay to allow my students the ability to create. This is currently done by using a rolling pin and canvas, creating slabs one by one for over 400 students multiple times a year! Having a slab roller in my elementary art room would allow me the opportunity to show my students how to create slabs, save valuable instruction time, and help us to produce more quality pieces of clay art.
