After exploring the properties of clay students were assigned a final project which was open ended enough for them to be able to personalize it to their needs. They had to make a mug that also encompassed something they loved. First they researched online for their idea and were able to generate various possibilities for their idea. Once they had an idea they had to sketch out a view of the mug from all 4 sides. The drawing had to show three-dimensionality but also accurately depict all sides accurately. They were shown two videos. One was about how to make a basic mug with clay and the second one was about how to add details to their sculptures. The videos are added here further below.
Below is my demo drawing of what I expect to see in their sketchbooks after they research and come up with an idea.
Sample of a student's finished plan drawing in their sketchbooks.
A simple agenda helps keep everyone on track no matter where they are in the process. 1. have a plan in your sketchbook, 2. make your mug, 3. add details, 4a. if not done, write your name on a baggie, moisten your mug and place in baggie, zip it well. 4b. If done, write your name on the bottom and leave to dry in a separate box.
Love seeing some finished mugs!!!
