ACHF Arts Education
Students will have: Explored his/her surroundings and formulated ideas Observed facts, objects, variations in the material (cause and effect: the warmer the clay, the more malleable it is), seeks explanations for physical phenomena (Why is the clay all dried out and cracked? Why won't it hold together?) Investigated possibilities and gathers information Handled objects and instruments Formulated hypotheses (?Maybe if I add a bit here, it will hold together?) Experimented Made choices Shared his/her experience with others (?If you add some at the bottom, it will hold together better?) Demonstrated persistence?or lack of persistence (?I've had it with this?it just won't stand up!?)

Students participated in a clay project. Each student created a pinch-pot styled fish. They were able to use different tools for texturing and then glazed their projects. The students were able to explore ideas creatively, improve physical dexterity and f
