Art I Projects

Class projects will cover a variety of skills, content, and media. We will start with an introduction to drawing skills as a foundation on which to build. This page will contain important details, resources, and information related to each project. It is your responsibility to use this page to help guide and reinforce your learning.

Clay sculpture - Handbuilding

5/14/2018

 
Objectives: 
  1. Learn about clay types, processes, and related vocabulary
  2. Understand how and when to use each hand building technique: pinch, slab, and coil 
  3. Demonstrate proficiency in techniques such as wedging, the score/slip method, and additive/subtractive decorating methods (modeling, incise/excise, impress, appliqué)
  4. Create a clay sculpture using a spherical form made with two connected pinch pots as the basis for further construction, using additional pinch, slab, coil, and/or modeled construction methods.
  5. Use additive and subtractive decorative methods to create the details needed to give the work and finished look with characteristics of the chosen form (textures, patterns, etc.).
  6. Other than that (time restrictions...), the sky is the limit!

​PLEASE NOTE: 
  1. The projects illustrated in the slideshow above were based on the Global Studies focus on Latin America - YOUR sculptures will be inspired by your Pop Art painting.
  2. The projects illustrated in the slideshow above were made using red clay but YOU will be using white clay. Ways to add color will be discussed but time limits may prevent us from getting that far. If color IS added, it must be SIMPLE (like, spray painting with ONE color).
  3. Construction must be hollow and should be sturdy and well balanced and, of course, and the product must make it through the construction, drying, and firing processes!
  4. Use the button below to access additional photos of past projects - look at each carefully to better understand the construction methods that you will be utilizing.
