Lava Lamps, The B-52s, and Art Education

I love lava lamps.  I probably have 25 or so.  I guess you could say that I collect them.  I remember my dad having a gold lava lamp back in the 70s.  My dad's lava lamp had red lava.  
The kids know that I love lava lamps because I have them in my classroom.  I figure if they get bored, the lava lamps are always interesting to look at.

The project?
I rolled out slabs on a slab roller.
I reviewed slipping and scoring clay.
Kids designed their lava lamps with clay.
I fired.
The painted.
That's it, y'all!

Have a look!
Imma ending this post with The B-52s "Hot Lava".  It is a slow version and the YouTubers have some interesting comments for the B's lovers...And I love the B's.
