In this lesson, the students will examine a variety of pottery forms; discuss their meanings, functions, and the different cultures that created them. This lesson will explore ways that pottery characteristics can give clues about how the forms were used in the past and their value based on the cultures that created them. We will also include the pottery made by the students in the first class to compare their choices for form, function and discuss if their ideas were influenced from their past knowledge of pottery.
