Coil Pots


Coiled pots are constructed by gradually stacking and joining coils of clay one on top of the other.
The goal was to make sure the pot will stand on it's own and in the building process to practice new elements and principles of art - balance and form. The first step was to make sure that the base is strong enough to hold the top parts. Another important thing they learned was when rolling the coil, they had to put the same amount of pressure as they moved the hands from one side to the other.

They all created unique designs, so proud of them!

Share Art, Find Art

High school students are working on mini artworks that they will place on unusual places around the city so people can find them. The idea is to share art and find art on unexpected places, but also make meaningful artworks that will make people stop, wonder, think...My aim is to activate critical discussions on art, deepen students' appreciation of art and the world around them. We looked videos and  examples of critical artworks that high school students can easily relate to focusing especially on the works of Barbara Kruger.




If you happen to find any of these artworks around Skopje, please let us know with the hashtag #shareartfindart

High School students will be happy to find that someone located their work :)

Playful sculptures
