| After first day of painting |
Well, for the 3rd and 4th grade anyways! The 4th graders have finished their portrait mugs that were influenced by the Moche culture that thrived in Northern Peru nearly 2,000 years ago. It took a few weeks with careful planning and excellent students to create these slab-built mugs. The 4th graders learned to score and slip clay to bind pieces together along the way and did an excellent job of wedging their clay (no kiln eruptions!). It took us two class sessions to paint them because the kids were more than willing to make sure every detail was perfect, crafting a final product that looks both worth the time and awesome!
