The amazing art of Pottery!

Pottery is dishes, plates, cups, and cooking pots made out of clay. It is a good idea to make dishes and pots out of clay for several reasons. Clay is cheap and easy to get, pretty much anybody can make a useful pot out of it, and you can make it waterproof pretty easily too.

People first started making pottery out of clay around 6000 BC, near the beginning of the Neolithic period. From the beginning, people used pottery as a way of constructing their social identity, or showing who they were and how they were different from other people. Many of the designs used on pottery were borrowed from cloth, which was also used to identify people of one group or another.

I love the font you chose! It goes with the whole “pottery” theme you got going. Also, great font size for an ESL handout!

The earliest form of art we know from China was pottery - clay pitchers and bowls. Most of the best early pottery comes from a place called Ban'po and it is named after that place. People in Ban'po began to make pottery about two thousand years later in China than in West Asia. This Ban'po pottery was handmade (not on a potter's wheel). At first the polished red pots were plain.

Then the pots were painted with black swirling spirals and geometric shapes, and sometimes with human faces. Later on, artists in China used a brush to paint their pottery, and the designs became more sophisticated.

Nothing measures to the feel of working with clay and crafting a piece of pottery! But if you want to know more before you get your hands wet, try the sites below:
