Students are familiar with working with clay creating masks and weaving which are used throughout their culture. Students will gain self confidence and the opportunity to share their culture, stories and technique through clay masks and weavings. Former students will also be allowed to assist with teaching other students. Students will have clay and glazes to complete their masks as well as jute, feathers and other bobbles in the class to adorn the masks. I have looms and plenty of yarn to subsidize the weaving portion f the project.Masks and weavings will be exhibited on campus, during our Multicultural Celebration, and our website. Some art pieces might be exhibited at the University of Arizona with an option to win $1000 scholarship to the university.
