As every year a group of  pupils of the sixth grade attended at  a ceramic workshop in the afternoon. This year we decided to focus  on one of the topic of the project: Opposition to racism and fanaticism.

So first the class discussed what  racism means and how we can fight it, then they modelled with clay small objects, following the suggestions given by the teacher, Angela maria furnari,  and using their creativity

       

   

They worked in couples modelling two people hugging. The people had to match each other in ahug.

They modelled  doves as a  symbols of peace and pot support with positive words and many other objects

   

When the clay dryed it was cooked in the ceramnic oven to became earthenware.

The pupils painted the object wih ceramic enamel then they were cooked again to became ceramic

    

Here are some finished objects. the two people hugging were painted  one white and the oher was on glazed keeping the original colour of terracotta

  

          

At the beginning of June Istituto Costa organized a charity event in which most  the objects were sold to sudsidize the Solidarity Fund of the school
