Celebrating 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 are always full of life and are active members of our large, tight-knit community. We have a ton of school pride and have recently pulled through a few natural and personal disasters together.
My students are very creative, especially when it comes to using unorthodox supplies and materials.
We have multiple introductions to art (Art 1) courses, as well as different levels of intermediate and advanced courses - such as intermediate art (Art 2), advanced art (Art 3 and 4), and three levels of ceramics.
My Project
These materials will help enhance and encourage more student creativity when decorating their ceramics projects. The ceramics program has doubled recently and we need to expand our supplies and options for their creative processes.
The glazes that have been selected are also very unique in the fact that they also encourage learning in science.
Of course, all glazes relate to science in the fact that they cause chemical reactions when exposed to the heat of the kiln, but these specific glazes have added materials that enhance those reactions even further.
The engobes will allow for the students to be more detailed in their designs and have more control than traditional glazes.
