CERAMICS

Year 8 Ceramics

Students in 8B and 8M were to brainstorm, research and design a sgraffito clay tile to represent and celebrate the positive impact a significant person has had on their life.

Students incorporated various elements and principles of Art and symbolism to represent their Significant Person.  

Loop and incising tools were used to scrape away the underglaze on the clay to create their design.

Year 10 Ceramics

Symbolic Boat Tile 

Year 10 Students had a class discussion about the importance of recognising emotions. They did a ‘check in’ with their current emotional state, recognising emotions are a normal part of life and identifying how we are feeling can help us to regulate our emotional state and reactions.

Emotional awareness gives you control even when external situations are out of your control and helps you to know which emotions you are feeling and why. 

It also helps you to realize the links between your feelings and what you think, do and say. 

Learning Goals 

Artists use symbolism to represent and communicate emotions.

The importance of self awareness;

• Emotions are normal, recognising how you are feeling enables you to use strategies to improve your overall wellbeing.
• Recognising early when you are experiencing an emotion, and identifying what it is, can help you figure out a helpful way to respond.
• When we are not aware of how we are feeling, we are more likely to react without thinking about the consequences.

They then created a tile using the symbolism of a boat on water to represent how they were feeling.
