Wednesday - Ceramics Studio - 004: 10:00 am - 10:50 am
Description:
Junior ceramic students are bound to have a lot of fun together in this class as they learn the old craftsmanship of working with clay. In this class students will be learning about decoration, carving, smoothing, sculpting and construction in clay. Students will have the opportunity to glaze and take home their work. Over the course of our 16 weeks together, some projects we will be doing include: Freelance sculptural pieces, tiles, nature collection trays, mugs and vases, beautiful little planters, candle lanterns, carved or stamped pendants, wall hangings, sculptural busts. Your student will be given inspiration for border &filler designs& patterns, weaving the art of drawing into their clay projects. As they work within the structure of the ceramics studio, your student will have cleanup duties as well as plenty of creative freedom. This is both for the confident independent junior artists and for thoughtful or hesitant artists. I teach my students to help build up a strong environment in their classroom by building each other up so the ceramic studio can become a source of art therapy, camaraderie and joy for them. Tactile contact is one of the first experiences we have in this life; it is at our roots, so touching clay and experiencing ceramic art is a very grounding experience for students.

Over the course of our 16 weeks together, some projects we will be doing include: design and picture tiles, nature collection trays, stamped/carved mugs and vases made from slabs, beautiful little cylinder planters, candle lanterns, pendants, wall hangings, mobile and and sculptural busts.

Some Notes:
-We fire the pottery here at the center and students will be able to take home their finished pieces. And whatever functional creations they make can be used in the home, garden and kitchen! We use non toxic food safe glazes and everything that gets fired can be used in the everyday.
-Students will have some cleanup chores, like washing the wooden tools and sponges in the provided water buckets and wiping down their areas after glazing days.
-The finished pottery they will be creating will have undergone several stages of wet, “leather -hard”, trimming and decorating, first fire, decoration, second fire. So it’s a really big deal when they receive their first finished pots from the kiln room.
-Here at our pro ceramics studio we fire to cone 6, providing for elementary students an abundance of clay, a rainbow array of mid-range glazes and all the tools and supplies one would need.
The Middle School Choir at FPHRC provides young music students, or students drawn to singing, the irreplaceable opportunity to develop their talents by making engaging music with one another, and learning more about the value of music as an art form and a practice. Most importantly, in my choirs, I emphasize that we have been given the gift of music from God, so that we may serve him as we sing for his glory, develop our talent, bless others with it, and enjoy it ourselves. Ensemble music-making is integral to the musical education of every musician, whether experienced or a beginner. They will not only learn how to better read and perform music, but learn about its many elements, gain a greater sense of artistry through a variety of styles, and develop collaborative skills that solo performance does not offer. Students will sing music that is engaging, quality, beautiful, and fun, even as they build lasting relationships with their peers. Finally, the Middle School choir seeks to seed in its singers a love for choir, not only preparing them for FP’s high school choir, but for those in college, church, and beyond!
Requirements:
All students must perform a range test after choir in the first or second week. (Director will coordinate sign-ups for time slots in Slack).
Learn and build on the basic principles of hand-building with clay. Projects may include: functional pots, sculpture, tiles and more. The projects will encourage freedom of expression, allowing students to personalize their piece while also nurturing the need to follow a process and value the structure inspired by successful ceramic projects. Functional pieces such as cups, plates and bowls will all be made from dishwasher and microwave safe materials, creating heirloom memories your family may enjoy for generations.
