SU Fall 2019 Ceramics I
Assignment: super-secret-treasure-keeper
The project must have a secret compartment and/or consider the interior of the form as extensively as the exterior. Students are required to start with an initial design (which can change as their idea develops), and are also encouraged to work on a somewhat larger scale. This assignment is primarily a slab building assignment, but students can also utilize other building techniques. Students are also encouraged to design and utilize a pattern prior to construction.
The image on the left was taken at the first 'green' review. The work is discussed while it is still wet (green), and the students have the opportunity to change and/or improve their projects after the critique. This project is graded twice, green review and finished/fired.
The image on the right is the finished piece, which was fired in a Raku kiln. The piece was a centerpiece for her final BFA exhibition; her major was Graphic Design.
