American Indian Ceramics.

Key Stage 3. Year 8. February 2005.
William de Ferrers School.

Students developed their understanding of
American Indian culture by experiencing a
ceremony based on traditional ideas.
Students listened to American Indian
chanting and were "smudged" to dispel
impure spirits. They then completed a
visualisation and totem animal discovery.

This provided a starting point for their clay
designs. The work was completed using
traditional American Indian colours.
Students also did a related homework.
