Description
Summary:Drake shares her experience of using clay in her art class. For this project, students ventured into making clay pieces that produce sound when strung together as whimsical ceramic wind chimes. Nature is always a hot topic for students at any age. All aspects of nature--from plant life to wildlife--touch people's hearts in a way that other things don't. As a class, they reflected on the types of environments in our community here in Virginia., from the vast mountain landscapes to the beaches, which are literally in students' backyards. They discussed the importance of protecting the environment and building a world of nature advocates. Students then wrote in their sketchbooks about their experiences with nature.
