Our first month of art for the Middle School students at Summer-Knoll we explored clay. Using rich terra-cotta, we made marks, textures, and designs. We cut out tiles to use as tests for different color and glaze combinations.

Artist "chop" was created with our initials or a symbol that will be used as our signatures when we make objects in clay.
 |
| We used the information gathered from our test tiles to make cups. The students were asked to make multiple drawings of their home landscapes (open to interpretation here) then abstract and also simplify one of these drawings. We took these altered ideas and made drawings directly on a wet slab of clay. The wet slabs where carefully curved into cups using a template. |
