Bead Making with Clay

To do this assignment students were shown pictures of jewelery from various cultures including: Ancient Greece, Rome, Egypt, Mali, and Native American. They combined these styles and used their own artistic styles as well. We used earthenware clay to make the beads, and to make the holes students used toothpicks. To make the finish product we used tempera paint, and metal wire to hang them.
