3D art is an elective that many students take.  They want to have fun in this class, and most students do.  What the students like is the “hands on experience.”  They get to make their own pottery which can vary from boxes to bottles.  They can also make it their own by carving letters in it, or they can color it uniquely.  This takes time to get the final finished product with all of the steps, hard work and learning that goes into making them.
