What is Spanish & Clay?

Art is the perfect medium for language learning because it allows kids to explore and learn new vocabulary without the stress of being perfect.

What will children learn in Spanish & Clay?

Students will learn basic Spanish vocabulary through the practice of ceramics. The class is in English and introduces new words and phrases in Spanish, such as greetings, farewells, shapes, colors, numbers, etc.

Students will learn three different techniques of hand building ceramics. They will make different shapes, learn how to join the pieces and use under-glazes. They will finish their pieces using glazes and acrylics.

Projects:

1. Using “Pinching” we will make a bubble head animal, monsters, birds, and more animals.

2. With “Slabs” we will build cups, plates and pitchers.

3. “Coils” will help us to make bowls and plates.

We make a project per class.
