(19) Week of January 14th

1/14/2019

Ceramic projects must be finished (construction, not glazing) by the end of the week so they can dry over the 3-day weekend. Use class time wisely and work outside of class as needed. YOU CAN STILL THROW ON THE WHEEL!

REMEMBER:

PLANNING: Use the provided resources to generate ideas BEFORE coming to class; sketch your ideas so you have a plan that can be effectively discussed with the teacher. Use lunch & other times to work as needed, including opportunities for wheel-throwing.
CONSTRUCTION: Build larger and more complex forms (lids, handles, etc.).
FORM: Consider how the form and function of the piece are related (the "season" of the tea bowl, for example).
DECORATIVE TECHNIQUES: Use multiple methods (incise, excise, impress, appliqué) to create specific textures and/or patterns.
CRAFT: Maintain equal thickness (1/4" throughout), improve techniques and refinement of surfaces, sturdy - no wobbles - nothing falls apart!

Re-watch this video to remind yourself of the concepts that you are trying to embody in your clay forms and process.

TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL Q2:

Take FULL responsibility for class preparation and participation by reviewing the agenda at the start of each week. It is there to help you, take advantage of that help.
Take FULL responsibility for your personal growth by following ALL directions (spoken, written, posted, or otherwise) WHILE THINKING PAST THEM for unique solutions that APPLY what you have been learning. If you are "just completing assignments," then you are missing the point.
Take FULL responsibility for managing your time. Your work flow and process has to make sense for you but you may need to make adjustments along the way in order to meet deadlines while keeping point #2 in mind. Steady, daily, thoughtful wins the race.
Take FULL responsibility for asking questions, seeking help, using the resources provided online, and spending time outside of class as needed. Lunch time = open art studio....take advantage of this resource!
