Art Problem / Challenge
Create 2 similar but different mugs with thrown or applied texture and design. Think "twins".
Formative Practice: Process of Learning
- Watch video below.
- Throw 10 (1 lb) balls of clay into cylinders in similar fashion to the potter in the video. Experiment with a different applied texture for each one. Keep all on tray until leather hard stage.
- Cut each one in half and document each attempt with photographs.
- Finally, create a google slide show that illustrates your progression from cylinder 1 to 10.
Thrown or Applied Texture Techniques
- Ribbed with finger (demonstrated in video)
- Waved with wood rib tool
- Faceted (with wire cutter or cheese cutter)
- Chatter Line Marks (with spinning texture tool)
- Pressed
- Incised
- Altered form
Summative Project
