WARMUP
As you enter the room you will need to acquire the accordion book
you created during our last class. The following image will be projected on the screen:
Above, work by: Sergei Isupov
You will begin class by opening to the next page of your accordion book and making a sketch of this sculpture. On the adjacent page you will be asked to label the drawing with the artist's name and tile of the work. You will then answer the following:
- How has this artist made use of SPACE in the work of art?
- What effect on the overall piece does this create?
LESSON FOR THE DAY
You will see a demonstration on developing functional cups from soft slabs of clay. These tumblers will be on of three cups you will produce as a portfolio. You will generate the three cups based on three construction methods. They are as follows:
Pinching: You will generate a pinched tea bowl
Soft Slab: You will generate a rolled tumbler
Soft slab plus Handle: You will generate a handled mug
You are already aware of the pinching process. Today you will learn the soft slab technique. You may choose to engage with whichever construction method you choose at any time provided you complete the required three cups. You may attempt the cups as many times as possible in order to achieve the most harmonious objects.
