The sixth graders in Mrs. Nelson’s art class learned how to make pinch pots that they turned into "effigy" pots (Pots in the shape of an animal). After reviewing the seven continents and their locations, the students were assigned a specific continent and researched an animal that was indigenous to that continent. Then they made that animal become their effigy pot. Using a minimum of four colors, the students under glazed their animal and then over glazed it to make it shiny.
