Students create beautiful ceramic art


Brehm Preparatory School students created incredible ceramic pieces of art during visual arts classes. The students made ceramic sculpture figurines "loosely based on ancient artwork of different civilizations," said teacher Wade Brady.

The students began learning ceramic hand-building techniques about six weeks ago that culminated in this complex figurine sculpture project.

"The unit started out with learning how to build a coil coffee cup and a slab candle holder, and finally moved into design. It all came together for this fin
al project using all the techniques," Wade said. "It is one of the most successful projects that I have seen from my classes. I am very proud of the students and their work."

Brehm understands that a creative outlet is crucial for its students, so students are encouraged to explore the arts with our talented instructors. Brehm students produce high-quality artwork that often wins awards at local and regional art shows. Traditional art classes include:
  • Painting
  • Collage
  • 3-D art
  • Silk-screening
  • and other creative techniques
