Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine how creating a collaborative ceramic project affects the sense of community within the art classroom. The study took place in a high school mixed level ceramics class. Data was collected prior to the introduction of the project and after the completion of this project. The collaborative project was a ceramic mosaic of this school’s mascot. Through the collection and analysis of surveys and observations, the data provides information on how creating this collaborative ceramic project affects student motivation, social interactions, and the classroom environment.
