Case Studies
CERAMICS FOR ALL
Research has proven that students who are engaged in the arts are more attuned to core academic study areas than those students who are not. Over the past three years, Big Creek Elementary District, through the support of The Foundation @ FCOE, has added arts back into the classroom through technology, instrumental music and now ceramics. Recently, the district purchased a new kiln to revive the ceramics program, and 2014 Innovation Grant was used to purchase much needed supplies.

Ceramics for All is available to all students, preschool through grade 8, both during the day and specific evening dates. The projects focused on molded ceramics with a gradual progression toward a ceramics wheel and pottery development. The goal of the project was to make arts education available to all students.
