Rating
0.0 stars

There are endless methods for decorating pottery, from the forming stage through final glazing and beyond. The students will explore decorations on various pottery pieces from different cultures. They will look at carved and painted designs as well as printed symbols and pictures that adorn the outer surfaces of pottery forms. We will also discuss how the designs relate to the individual cultures; expressing feelings, telling stories and following traditions. The students will also make a personal connection to their own pottery form and explain their individual connections and meanings through designs for their pottery (scratch art design). This lesson was developed by Belinda Coston as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.
