World Building:
We will be having our students explore the concept of world-building. Students will create different elements of a world and a cohesive narrative between each of their art pieces. Students will create a ceramic bobblehead, a diorama for the ceramic creature to live in, food for the creature to eat, a stop-motion video of the creature in its home, and a still-life drawing of their creature. Students will be manipulating different materials in each of the projects, such as clay, underglaze, drawing materials, foam, found objects, as well as digital tools to create video
