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 Students

My students are all great students that show so much potential to extend their abilities in their ceramic art-making. My students come from many different backgrounds and often undermine their own skills and abilities to grow and progress. This campaign would help me allow my student try different forms of creating their ceramic pieces past just hand-building.

My Project

VA.Cr2.HS.1I - Develop art making skills and techniques while making/designing works of art comparing methods of spontaneous and deliberate design. VA.Cr1.HS - Use multiple approaches to begin creative endeavors.

With limited materials in order for it to work, we cannot efficiently teach all of the students how to throw on the pottery wheel and provide them ample opportunities to do so to perfect their skills.

With this wheel, we can give more of our students the opportunity to explore new types of ceramic art making and expand their applied ceramics skillsets.
