Extra Practicum Activity

Following our original practicum we stayed and conducted an additional art project with the students in an effort to receive extra credit for doing so.  The teacher was more than willing to allow us to do this and the students were excited to continue on with more art.

This project consisted of painting ceramic piggy banks.  We set up individual work stations for each student.  The students were given their own white piggy banks and the color of paints they desired.  We encouraged them to experiment with mixing colors and they enjoyed coming up with many different colors and designs. 

The experience, like the previous practicum was enjoyable to the students and they once again stayed on task much to our delight and the teacher’s as well.  When they finished, we put the colorful piggy banks on the windowsill to dry and also to be displayed.

About the Deerdog.

My clay sculpture is a Deerdog.  This is what come about when the deer come down from the mountain to feed on the bushes in your yard and develop an attraction for your house pet. 
If you are lucky enough to be on the female side of the equation you can raise these as adequate pets.  They feed on regular dog food but will munch on the bushes if you are not careful. 
If you see one out in the wild, don't mess with it.  They have the speed of a deer and the bite of a rabid dog.
