Southwest Pots

I found this project on Artsonia, I thought they were so beautiful! I just had to try them with my fifth graders. I first showed them images of southwest pottery design and made handouts for each table for reference. The students then created templates out of oaktag and shared them with the entire class so everyone would have three different pieces of pottery. The designs were sketched in pencil first then colored with markers. After the design was complete one half of the pottery was shaded with black pastel( or the side of a black crayon). The students arranged their work on the construction paper of their choice and glued them down. They look great when displayed together!
