Is it a vase, or a pencil holder? Could it be a box, or possibly a treasure chest? Whatever it might be, the ceramic slab sculpture is unique and original to the student that created it. In fourth grade, students built upon ceramic skills learned in years prior by creating three-dimensional slab sculptures. Students were responsible for making decisions regarding the size, shape, texture, and functionality of their sculpture. After creating paper templates to help measure the base and sides of their piece, students wedged clay, rolled slabs, cut slabs from templates, and constructed their piece with care. Finally, students glazed their sculptures using consistent coats of glaze. Voila!
