Above is my Toby mugs assignment. Toby mugs are a colloquial name for the English ceramic folk art tradition also called character mugs. This is a great project because you can use to to teach all of the basic hand building methods.
Above you will see my South East Asian Spirit Houses project. These slab built sculptures are based on various spirit house traditions that exist throughout South East Asia. This project makes for an interesting research assignment because the tradition varies so greatly from country to country.
Above you can see some Day Of The Dead inspired sculptures that I did with a 7th grade class. This was part a much bigger Day Of The Dead altar project that you can see more of in one of my other student work galleries.
