Eager hands and excited faces were seen in the Senior Art Room when a group of pupils of Grade 9 came together to make small pinch pot animals. They were instructed via a demonstration and then they began fashioning their own ideas of the little fish or tortoise.
The method included attaching two similar sized pinch pots by trapping the air inside. Then the shape of the fish/tortoise was made, followed by the attaching of fins, eyes and tails etc.
This demonstration happened over two sessions to encourage students to add embellishments, and incise designs on the surfaces.
