My Project

One of my favorite things about teaching 3D art is watching students take an idea and figure out how to make it work. They learn through experimenting, making adjustments, and helping each other along the way. This project will give them a chance to use those skills to create something that becomes a lasting part of our school.

Students will create 24 individual clay relief tiles, grouped into four compositions of six tiles representing the four seasons.

These works will be installed in the four corners of our school’s square layout. Each student’s tile will have its own character while contributing to a shared design.

The clay will give students hands-on experience building depth, shaping forms, and creating texture. Celadon glazes will highlight those details and provide a unifying color for each season, bringing the individual tiles together into a finished composition.

Creating artwork for a permanent location gives students a small taste of what a working artist might experience when creating a commissioned piece. They will need to consider the space, the people who will see their work, and how their ideas fit into a larger project. They will also experience the care and responsibility involved in preparing artwork for public display.

Your support will help students leave something of themselves behind—artwork they can return to see and share with others long after they leave our classrooms.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
