Today we are going to research past cultures, movements, and artist that work with the clay medium.
I want you to create 2 slides with the following information....

Slide 1:
- Find a culture from the past that created things out of clay. These creations could be for either functional use or decorative use.
- Insert at least 2 images of the pottery, vessels, or sculptures.
- Include interesting information about the culture including dates, location, and other interesting facts.

Slide 2:
- Find an artist that uses clay in his or her work. Try to find artists that use earthenware, stoneware, or any other high fire or low fire clay.
- Insert at least 1 image of the artist and 2 images of their work.
- Include interesting information about the artist including dates, location, and other interesting facts.

DO NOT COPY PASTE INFORMATION, USE YOUR OWN WORDS!!! Cite your sources!
