The Art of Pottery

The Gr. 8/9 Art option in our School for Boys and the School for Girls got messy at North Mount Pleasant Arts Centre where they made decorative clay plates! They focused on creating texture and building with coils. As they practiced these new skills they were challenged to be Resilient, Relentless, and Resourceful in bringing their ideas to life. The boys and girls were very Responsible and Respectful as they took care of the studio space, materials, and learned how to clean up afterwards. They worked together in cleaning up: the boys took on cleaning the tools, and the girls cleaned up the tables and floors. Everyone earned an R today! We’re excited to see their final products after they get fired in the kiln.
