Deep Blue Sea and Clay Coral Reefs
As a new art teacher who has never taught clay, I was a little ambivalent about how the
process would go – middle schoolers are full of surprises after all.
Nonetheless, with only a few techniques, students can create a successful 3D project!
With this project students learned about the nature of coral reefs and did research about
the types of corals they wanted to make out of clay. Students learned about the pinch pot,
slip and score, and attachment methods.
I’d say their projects turned out pretty “coral.”
