A Zoo in the Art Room

These pinch pot animals with bead legs were so fun to make with the 6th graders!  Each one has its own unique personality and the students were proud of them when they were finished.  These first three photos are in-progress. You can see more of these in-progress here.   The students used underglazes to glaze them and after they were fired once more they attached a wire through the two holes in front and strung beads on to create legs that hang down over the shelf the animal is sitting on.

I love this little fish!
