No, the projects are in what is called "bisque" form and have already been fired. Art In History includes stains that state specifically "do not fire". This allows our projects to be used in almost any setting without needing access to a kiln.

*ALL PROJECTS ARE FOR DECORATIVE USE ONLY*

**It is possible to re-fire the products again however you must use a cone 06 glaze that is NOT supplied by Art In History. If the piece is fired using the stains supplied by Art In History you will ruin the replica.

With such a great focus on education Art In History products have been produced with "smaller hands" in mind. Projects are actual scale, or may have been scaled up or down for convenient use.

We have 3 dimensions of student kits that vary by project. These are not the actual size of the item just a standard student kit box size. Actual piece size can be found in the product description.

1) 7 x 7 x 7 (12 kits per case)

2) 6 x 6 x 4 ( 15 kits per case)

3) 9 x 2 x 7 ( 18 kits per case)

Throughout history archaeologists have used pottery as a basis for dating the civilization and culture of the discovered site. Pottery had a utilitarian use and represented a prized possession used in everyday life. The face of the pottery was like a canvas in which the potters used to express themselves. Therefore the motifs represented the events of the day usually depicting politics, religion, the environment, and the day-to-day life of the time period.

The company uses multiple researchers for creation of the product. The historic period is chosen first by a board of the company using curriculum-based standards. Once the period is chosen, the researchers are then directed to look into all aspects of the time frame using the nine standards set up by the company. These nine standards are History, Geography, Literature, Humanities, Culture, Vocabulary, Writing, Language Arts and Art. The program then goes to the art researcher who, in addition to employing the nine basic curriculum standards, combs through museum references and cross references art guides to insure color and form is replicated as close to the original piece as possible. In some cases, the size of the piece is adjusted to replicate in miniature form so that the piece is easier to handle by the students.

A. As we developed the project we considered this to be one of the primary functions for the teacher. Therefore each project has been developed around a prominent individual who is historically accurate and appropriate to the time frame.

To use an example, we will use the Greek Geometric Period, circa 750 BC. The poet Homer who wrote the "Iliad" and the "Odyssey" lived during this time period and his writings reflect the Greek Geometric Period. Our lesson plans encourage the teacher to introduce the product by saying to the students, "Today we are going to create a water vessel to be used by Homer. To understand how to decorate the water vessel we must understand what was happening in Homer's life. We are going to be following curriculum studies from the HISTORY, GEOGRAPHY, CULTURE, LANGUAGE ARTS, VOCABULARY, ART, HUMANITIES, READING , and WRITING of the time period when Homer lived and wrote."

If the school teaches drama then the teacher may introduce another of the humanities and have a student play act Homer. The teacher could also assign various parts of the curriculum to student or students to teach other students about the subject matter. Another approach could be the use of multiple courses taught by individual teachers culminating into either an art class or a class where the art is painted. This will produce a greater benefit from the project and make it very cost effective for the school system.

A. Each project is designed to include everything the teacher will need to successfully complete the lesson. A kit is provided for each student which includes the following:

1) The Pottery Replica.

2) Sponge to paint the undercoat.

3) Paintbrush for detail painting.

4) Rubber band for creating circles (some projects).

6) Paint pallets.

7) Craft paper (for sketching and to protect the desk or table).

8) Individual box with a place for the student's name.

9) An Artist Certification preprinted with a description of the Art Replica and the name of the school. In cases where the project has been donated, the donor's name will also appear on the Artist Certification (if so desired by the donor). There is a place for the teacher to place the student's name on the Artist Certification.(bulk orders only)

*With a minimum of 18 student kits of one specific item the teacher will receive a choice of Teacher's Guide (see "how it works" tab) and all the stains necessary to complete the projects

**Individual/home school kits are supplied with stain and download code for lesson ($8.49 per project)

The company has made every effort to keep the cost down but still supply a quality product. The current price for each student kit containing all of the listed components is $5.95 per kit (with a minimum purchase of 18 kits... individual kits priced @ $8.49)

1) This project lends itself to many types of Grants through various Arts groups. The National Endowment for the Arts is a possible source.

2) Since businesses can be recognized through the Artist Certifications which are sent home to parents, a local business might provide the projects as a philanthropy to the school.

3) Art In History Charitable Foundation which is an IRS 501c3 approved Foundation that could assist as a conduit for the donation and handle the logistics for the business and the school.

4) An individual parent or parents might choose to make a tax deductible donation to the Foundation, designating the school and even the classroom to receive the donated materials.

5) Other types of fundraising events such as PTA/PTO sponsored donut sales, car washes, etc, are always a possibility.

6) Of course, a request may be sent to each parent to cover their child's cost of the program. (sample parent letter)

The projects are generally designed for grades 4-9, however have been used as early as second grade through high school/AP and even is used at many college level methodology courses throughout the country.

Note: Expanded Lessons contain adaptations for ELL/ESL, Special Needs, and AP/Upper High School Coursework

In addition to the Native American Indian Pueblo Acoma we are developing the research around all the major Native American Indian Tribes in the continental United States . We also have seven additional projects connected to the Founding Fathers, the Civil War and famous figures of American History.

There are a number of other uses for the projects some of which are:

1) After school programs.

2) Senior Citizens programs.

3) Summer Camp programs.

4) Special events programs.

5)Museum educational program

Art In History likes to boast that our projects are so simple they can realistically be completed in any setting where people congregate. We can also devise a special use program in concert with your group or organization.
