Thanks to a generous grant from a family foundation, two retired art teachers from Washington Elementary School in Evanston, Illinois, were brought back to facilitate a series of special projects, giving every child in the school a meaningful experience with clay. Each grade level team was asked to decide on a part of the curriculum they wished to integrate with this project. This article discusses the fourth-grade social studies project, which involved each student choosing a specific animal to research, writing a report with information about the animal's habitat, anatomy, food, etc., drawing and labeling specific attributes of the animal, drawing a picture of the continent where the selected animal lives, and, finally, creating a relief sculpture of their animal, with the background matching the corresponding continent. In addition to the fourth-grade continent project, the authors facilitated work at every grade level. Other projects included three-dimensional woodland habitats, Native American coil pots, and African masks.
