Clay Hand

In this project we got to make a clay bowl in the shape of our hand. We learned about the history of clay and how it can be used. We got to make two hands one for our own bowls and one for a class bowl. We learned how to score and slipping to add designs to our hand. At the beginning of the lesson we put down three thing that we knew about clay and then at the end we wrote down three things that we learned about clay.

An Extension Activity that we could do is have each student pick a different country and make their hand and decorate it to represent that country and then we can make a big bowl with all these different hand that from all these different cultures from around the world. Showing that we are all linked together.
