Your boss has given you the following criteria: Your designs should be themed, preferably original, sculptural, functional, and interesting from all viewpoints.
Objectives • Create two small, themed, three-dimensional sculptures • Develop an untraditional theme not related to Christmas. • Create functional art pieces that are built with design in mind: small enough to hang on a tree with attachment that allows a hook to go through. • Incorporate an interesting surface design • Develop a project with consideration of craftsmanship.
Process • Brainstorm possible theme ideas: cartoon characters, sports, people, animals, etc.. Create at least two different sketches or find different images to use and turn in as references. • Begin constructing forms by shaping clay using your hands and water. Add features to represent other parts of forms. Remember the Golden Rules of Ceramics!!! They always apply. • Create two forms that are three-dimensional and themed. • Allow 1 week for ornaments to dry before bisque fire. • Paint or glaze depending on the amount of time left at the end of the semester.
