clay piece

This clay project was quite fun because it is always fun to make things out of clay. First we made a few practice pieces, my first item was a conoe. But then I smashed it and decided to try something else. While I obviously am not very crafty with my hands, I decided to make a bowl, which turned to an ash tray. Not something suitable for 8th graders.
As an extension, a person could have students make cups or bowls out of the clay, although their would be no uniqueness which is something great about art class. The child could bring something from home and then do their best to recreate it out of clay.
