Course Description: Students learn the fundamentals of Wheel Throwing! Projects progress from bowls, to mugs (students interview a staff member to create a custom mug for them!), to lidded jars. Students research local non profits and vote on which one to support during our annual Empty Bowls Fundraiser in May where the sales of student work and their bowls generate 3-5K each year for the winning presentation. They also participate in a Magnet Exchange Program with over 100 other schools nationwide who create and exchange magnets with us each year! Students are required to plan, draw, and design each project before executing it. Students maintain a professional blog where all of their work and creative process will be documented. This course supports AP Studio 3D. Fees: $35 materials fee

Work Load: Our Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) is Art Club. A Standards Based Grading system that incorporates Formative Assessments for skill development and Summative Assessments based on projects. Students who use class time wisely will have little to no homework. Assignments can be completed written, orally, or through video submission.

Why You Might Be Interested In The Class: The techniques and skills gained in this class are the same techniques and skills used in real-life industries. This course will teach students how to run a studio safely, as well as how to create and finish pieces that can be sold.
