Research one of the artist in this presentation/lecture, clicking on their name will link to a site about them, but you will also have to complete your own research too.  The goal of this assignment is to see how artist write about and discuss their work, in addition, how others write about your artist's work.  Seeing other artist statements should help you determine how to discuss your own work.  Learning how to discuss your work to others is important in the arts and helps aid in visual communication.  (See Assignment Sheet and Presentation/Lecture below)

For this assignment, you will use the wheel as a building technique and generate forms to take apart through a variety of means (Deconstruction) and rejoin these pieces to make a new form (Reconstruction).  The form you make can be either sculptural or act as a reformed vessel.  During this assignment, you will need to manage your clay and control the level of dryness, i.e. leatherhardness of the clay.  See the Assignment Sheet (below) and the De/Reconstruction lecture slides for examples (Research Assignment )

 

 

   • Thrown Forms Completed by 1/30/19  (Progress Check)

 

   • Reconstructed Vessel or Sculpture Due:  2/7/19 (Bisque Firing Ready)

 

 

Find and research three(3) forms from three(3) different form families for a total of 9 forms in total.  Draw/sketch them and write about why you chose them, discussing the formal elements that you like or feel are successful.
