During Wellesley Middle school years, 8th grade students are given the choice of several electives within the visual art dept.\u00a0 This allows students interested in art to choose a specific art material they would like to concentrate on.\u00a0 For Ceramics students, they will be challenged to explore further with clay as their primary art material.\u00a0 Students will learn how best to manipulate the material with additive and subtractive methods.\u00a0 Both coil and hand building techniques are taught in order to express their creativity in clay and the use of glaze in order to add color and more dimension after the clay is bisque fired. \u00a0 By the end of the course, students will have a strong foundation of elements and principles of art within a 3D format to bring to the next level if they so choose to continue their studies of visual art at the high school level.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
