Related Art Webquests and Anchor Videos

To tell the truth, I did not find any particular pottery webquest in which students make pottery. I did find some webquests with interesting introductions I can reference though.

Here is a pottery webquest about different cultures:

I find it sad that some webquests treat art as if it is not relevant to students. And it seems a shame to have to write so many papers about art instead of experiencing it hands on, which would make the material much more memorable.


Here are my anchor videos. They are also posted on my webquest. Though this video has examples of African Pottery, and not Indian, this has some examples of pattern. This video also shows how different cultures use clay to make amazing things, from decorative jugs to whole houses.

This is a video I found of a class making pottery using coils of clay. They are using air-dry clay much like the class I am doing this pottery lesson with, hence there is no need to use a kiln.
