Twins have similar visual characteristics but each one is unique.  How can a pair of mugs be designed with visual unity?  

Art Problem / Challenge
Create 2 similar but different mugs with thrown or applied texture and design.  Think "twins".

Formative Practice:  Process of Learning

1. Watch video below. 
2. 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.
3. Cut each one in half and document each attempt with photographs.  
4. Finally, create a google slide show that illustrates your progression from cylinder 1 to 10.  

Thrown or Applied Texture Techniques

1. Ribbed with finger (demonstrated in video)
2. Waved with wood rib tool
3. Faceted (with wire cutter or cheese cutter)
4. Chatter Line Marks (with spinning texture tool)
5. Pressed
6. Incised
7. Altered form

Summative Project
Throw 2 similar (twin) mugs with thrown or applied texture and design.  Trim bottom footring and pull handles for each.
