Ceramics can be frustrating, clay is an intimidating medium for students as they begin working with it, but it can also be just as rewarding for those who stick with it. Students gain many skills working with ceramics, they learn about aesthetics and the importance of design, form, and function. They learn persistence and how to work through the artistic process. In this episode, the Creativity Department is joined by art educators Sharon Carr and Christine Colby to discuss ceramics in the art room. Discover ideas for introducing students to the medium, tips to help them manage frustration, classroom and materials management ideas, ceramic artists to showcase, and more!
