Part 2 of my Ceramic Architecture projects was a more elaborate project with seventh grade art classes. Along with my fourth grade project, this was funded by a grant from the Miami Valley Catholic Education Council. The students each chose a "client" to design for, researched a variety of architectural styles using their iPads and our classroom books as resources, and decided on the best "style" to fit the chosen client. For the most part, the buildings were formed using slab construction, although a few students incorporated coiling to create rounded forms.

Although many students had to deal with construction issues, mostly as a result of their high expectations and limited time (we have only 40 minute classes once a week), there were some excellent finished projects!

Although I love this project when it is over, and the students almost unanimously enjoyed the work, it isn't one I would do every year simply because it takes the better part of a semester to complete.
