Painting to Begin!

7th grade will begin painting their clay animals this week! 'Celebrate Creativity'!

Oaxacan Clay Animals!

7th grade students have created amazing clay animals in art class! These animals were inspired by the Oaxacan wood carvings produced in Mexico. Oaxacan wood carvings is a form of folk art in their country and are painted with elaborate colors and patterns. This is a picture from our 1st semester 7th grade class before the animals were fired in the kiln and painted. Our 2nd semester 7th grade class clay animals will be posted soon! Stay tuned!
