Welcome to the exciting world of sculpture. Your students will learn about the historical significance and current practice of using sculptural creatures as a vehicle for storytelling, protection, decoration or to serve a functional purpose on buildings, entranceways and gardens across cultures. These reference images will spark students to create a ceramic sculpture using hand-building techniques.

• Use appropriate terminology related to ceramic arts.
• Assess historical and current examples of building beasts related to their form and function.
• Demonstrate an ability to construct a clay beast using a pinch pot and additional hand-building techniques.
