Robert Arneson and Funk Art

I student taught with a wonderful woman named Barb Nassar. She is a ceramicist who taught me fascinating things about working with clay. I learned more from her than I ever learned in college. She teaches at Pinckneyville Middle School. See the following link for an article about her students.

 She teaches a fascinating lesson that is inspired by Robert Arneson.

My 8th graders are taught this lesson every year because it is so successful. The students LOVE working with clay.
