  1. Korean Pottery Ali Martin

  2. Korean Culture is influenced by a variety of diverse religions beliefs and practices including: Buddhism, Protestantism, Catholicism, Won-Buddhism, Confucianism, and Chondogyo. Like all cultures Korea used pottery to express gratitude to both spiritual and natural gods. http://www.korea.net/AboutKorea/Korean-Life/Religion • What are your cultures religious beliefs and do they affect the art they make?

  3. What type of materials, and techniques does your culture use to make their art? Korean pottery is renowned for their white porcelain or Baekja wares, Cheongia wares, and celadon-glazed wares. Cheongia wares use refined clays and glazed that contain small amounts of iron powder to achieve a durable oil gloss finish. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_pottery_and_porcelain

  4. Why did you choose that culture? I choose to research Korean pottery to better understand the artistic cultural of the nation we are currently studying in AP World. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_pottery_and_porcelain

  5. What difficulties do you think they faced to successfully make their art. Korean potters have not only experienced artistic difficulties, but domestic ones as well. Over the years Korea has been subjected to numerous failed invasions that hinder the creation of pottery, and resulted in the knowledge loss of specialized ceramic techniques. http://asianhistory.about.com/od/southkorea/p/The-Ceramic-Wars-Hideyoshis-Japan-Kidnaps-Korean-Artisans.hm

  6. What comparisons can you make between natural forms and the cultures art? Korean pottery is often covered with exaggerated decorative waves, lotus flowers, and willow trees to symbolize nature. While the pottery structure itself is generally broad- shaped bottles, cosmetic boxes, small slip-inlaid cups, and melon-shaped vases with rims to mirror lotus flower heads. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_pottery_and_porcelain

  7. What two elements of design can you use to describe the their art work? Korean potters depend on the art elements of value and space/perspective to effective create their artist vision. Value refers to relative lightness and darkness and is perceived in terms of varying levels of contrast, while space/perspective refers to the area in which art is organized. Perspective is representing a volume of space or a 3-dimensional object in a a flat surface. http://www.projectarticulate.org/principles.php

  8. What principle of art is created from the element in the art work? Korean pottery uses the art principle of emphasis and unity in they art work. Emphasis refers to the created center of interest, the place in a artwork where your eye first lands, and unity is achieved when the components of a work of art are perceived as harmonious, giving the work a sense of completion. http://www.projectarticulate.org/principles.php

  9. What caused you to pick this piece? I choose this long neck pottery piece because I love the way the glaze drips down the piece. https://www.google.com/search?q=korean+glazes

  10. What compositional techniques is the cultural using? Korean potters often use the compositional technique of symmetry to create a the visually appealing piece. Symmetry is defined as a exact correspondence of form and constituent configuration on opposite sides of a dividing line or axis. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/symmetry

  11. Picture of region where your cultural is located. The Korean peninsula is located at the eastern end of Asia, between China, Siberia, and the islands of Japan. http://people.cohums.ohio-state.edu/bender4/eall131/EAHReadings/module02/m02korean.html

  12. What type of kiln did your cultural use? Korean potters used wood fire chamber climbing kilns to fire their work. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_pottery_and_porcelain

  13. What type of glazes did your cultural use? Korean pottery favors pale colored glaze, mainly blue, yellow, and milky whites. Traces of iron powder are also commonly found in the glazes applied to Korean pottery. http://www.korea.net/AboutKorea/Korean-Life/Religion

  14. How does the cultures surroundings effect the imagery on this pottery? Being surrounded by vast bodies of water that houses a diverse population of aquatic animals contribute to Korean potters fascination with depicting wildlife on their pieces. http://asianhistory.about.com/od/southkorea/p/The-Ceramic-Wars-Hideyoshis-Japan-Kidnaps-Korean-Artisans.hm
