My Project

My students have great imaginations and they are able to create some of the most unique pieces of art. There are many benefits of art for children such as promoting creativity, encouraging natural connections, building fine motor skills, developing problem-solving skills, and helping children to connect.

Allowing children to use a variety of materials and tools that professionals use, increases their learning and understanding of the world around them.

These materials will enhance my students' creativity when working with clay. My student could use the potter’s wheel to help learn more about pottery and how bowls and vases are made. It will also help to build their fine motor skills. The students will be able to freely build their own sculptures or designs using clay and the potter’s wheel.
