5th and 6th Grade Art

We have about half of the banks completed as of last week and I am hoping to finish up all clay work today with the banks. I love the concepts that the students came up with and appreciate the fact that almost all of the students went beyond the typical "piggy bank" idea. Even if they chose to build a pig theme bank, the technical skills needed covered several points and I believe all the banks will be functional. Each piece is hollow constructed, has a slot in the top bigger than a quarter and a hole at the base so the coins can be removed. After the work is dried, it will go in the kiln and then we will get to glaze the banks.
