Print out one of the color-mixing worksheets below, either the "tulip" one or the "flower" one. Using paint, put the "pure" (unmixed) color in the center circle. Add white (to tint it) in the left circle and add black (to shade it) in the circle on the right. Then use those three colors to paint the flower realistically. An example is below.

Clay Whistle
1. You will be making a clay whistle when you are able to return to the classroom. While you are out you should be preparing yourself to work with the clay. Begin by going over all of the ceramic vocabulary provided in the link below. Write out all of the words and their definition. Add (at least 5) drawings to help you in remembering what the words are (such as drawing out the tools next to their name).
2. Watch the video tutorial below (8 minutes long) about how to make the clay whistle. Add to your notes about how to make the whistle.
4. Open up the images below to get some ideas about how you can then design your whistle once the structure has been built. Draw out your plan in your notes. If you don't plan to make it creative, then sketch out how the basic whistle form should look.
5. CHECKLIST: Here is what I am expecting from you before you can begin touching clay.

Clay Research Project
For the research project you will create a PowerPoint demonstrating the beginning of ceramic arts focusing on these cultures; Chinese, Greek, Persian, Mayan & Japanese. There should be 2-3 slides per culture. I want the important facts about each culture's usage of ceramics and pictures to go along with each slide. DO NOT COPY VERBATIM FROM THE INTERNET!
