  14. Statement: Rest Pots Ms. Ward’s 3-D Art students recently learned about the Egyptians and their ceramic canopic jars. These jars held mummified organs and were often placed in the tomb of the deceased--along with food, drink, cosmetics and valuables. The visual art students chose any one item (animate or inanimate) that they found particularly valuable and/or sentimental. After journaling, the students then sculpted a ceramic Rest Pot that reflected this item. The student will be able to… • design a clay pot that is communicative of his/her personality via innovative symbols, surface design, and/or form. Standard 1 • perform fundamental hand building approaches in clay, such as: a coil, slab or pinch pot. Standard 3 • construct a Rest Pot based on a personal interpretation of Egyptian canopic jars.
