Art Club's February project is Clay Piggy Banks. This project will take up the next two months because ceramic arts goes through an important process:
1. Clay project is designed
2. Clay dries to bone dry clay called Greenware
3. Greenware is fired in Kiln to Bisque Ware
4. Bisque Ware is painted with Glaze
5. Glaze Ware is fired in Kiln for glaze to melt into shiny colors.
6. Completed Project :-)
**A long process that is worth the wait!
Art Club Helpers were greatly appreciated and used throughout this project. Each Art Club Helper was assigned a group of four Art Club Members to teach step by step techniques to create their own unique piggy bank.
I love how each Art Club Member's bank is unique and different. Some students even turned their banks into other animals like cats and penguins, even a car! Creativity was flowing. Great Job!
