  12. HAIKU Poetry • Haiku is a Japanese verse form. • In the English language, it is expressed as three lines of five, seven, and five syllables, in that order. • It usually is based on nature

  13. HAIKU • five syllablesseven syllablesfive syllables

  14. The project –clay lantern • It will honor someone’s memory or celebrate their life • Based on haiku poem you write about them • Celebrate nature/dedicated to life • Create from clay using slab method • Will have cutouts using images from your poem • Poem can be written on inside or outside • It can be used as a votive candle holder

  15. Celebrating Nature-Celebrating Life • Write your own HAIKU poem • Brainstorm: Whose life would you like to celebrate? • What is your favorite memory • What part of nature would best represent them?

  16. Design • First step: Write a good Haiku that you are pleased with • What images come to mind with that poem? • MAKE A LIST OF THREE IMAGES

  17. Design • Your clay lantern will be modeled on a soup can.The round part will be like the label on a soup can-a long rectangle • DRAW the label…How will you apply the images that represent your poem? • How will you use the images shape and size to move the eye around the lantern? • What shapes will be cut out to let the light shine?

  18. CLAY comes from ground • When fired, alumina silica hardens

  19. Paper template with cutout • Once you have a design figured out… • Make a paper template the size of a soup label-it will be traced • Draw the images for the outside • Make your cutouts

  20. Slab Rolling • Roll out a slab of clay • Throwing a slab • Rolling with a rolling pin • Work in partners

  21. Cutting • Use the template to cut clay for the lantern… • Poke holes through the shape outlines to make cutouts

  22. Score and slip • Wrap the slab around a soup can • Score the ends (Rough up the ends) • Apply Slip-(Slurry clay) • Attach together

  23. Clay Construction • Cut out the bottom circle • Score and slip the edge of the bottom and edge of the sides • Join together • Let dry…It will become Greenware

  24. Extra credit- create a top • Create a top for the lantern

  25. The Greenware will be filed in the kiln • Firing will change the clay by removing all the water from the greenware—the alumina silica will harden • Once it is fired, it is now BISQUE.

  26. Glaze creates a hard, waterproof, glassy surface covering on the Bisque.

  27. Clay is fired in a kiln. • Our kiln is electric and we use cones to test the temperature
