REAL HEROES

In this project, students examined the roles that heroes play in our lives and began to work on their own ceramics project inspired by the roles of heroes in art.  Using handbuilding techniques, the students were asked to construct a figure of a hero they identified with, paying special mind to what battles many people may fight even in everyday life away from the battlefield. Students then attempted to create their own figures through learning clay building techniques of pinch, coil, and slab building while exploring the principle of form.
