Artist Process Flowchart

baerweug — 2021-01-13 14:43:13 UTC

Ceramics is a lengthy process and we will be overlapping projects because of this. The flow chart is a basic model of how our course will run and what you are doing for each project. You will be responsible for tracking the work that you did each week in any of the artistic process stages. That is the "evidence of your time spent in class" in which you are graded.
Example: A student on week 3 worked in "Generating Idea" and "Developing a Plan" They have photos of their sketch book that shows a broad theme given by the teacher. They also have shown a list of ideas that they came up with, photos, and annotations of an experience that they had that fits the precise theme that they chose. They also have a complete sketch that is shaded and detailed. They had the teacher check and initial their idea. These photos were turned in on our weekly evidence and time log. The time spent equals two 40 minute class periods. If this is all the student has for a 5 day week, they would receive a 50% for the week. If school was in session just 2 days, the student would receive 100% for the week.

2 Giveaway Planter & Tray

2023-08-05 18:23:26 UTC

This is a giveaway project that you will do to make a complete stranger's day a little brighter! You will make this planter for someone in a nursing home (fall semester) or a child in Mrs. Norman's 3rd grade class at McClure.
The Airplane Plant that we have in our room was given to me by my neighbor Mrs. Norman. When it sends runners out she collects them and nurses them until Mother's day and she sends them home with the kids to give to their mom/grandma. I think it would be nice to help out! We will do the same on our own with our plant in the fall for people in a nursing home.
You will draw the name of a child or adult in the nursing home and make Your planter and drip tray for that person and write a short letter to them.

Plate and Rakku Bowl

trembnol — 2023-10-25 14:26:00 UTC

I made a Rakku bowl for the Rakku firing project. I mixed copper and dark glazed to get the flecks of shiny copper and darker colors. The plate was a practice project on the wheel.

I have based this piece of a acorn and it is my pinch pot. The glass is post to look like wood and the most acorns have the top piece that is lighter than the bottom. So thats how i made it.

This is my sea urchin pod. I love the ocean and marine life so that inspired me to create this. I was inspired by pictures of real sea urchins and also sea urchin artwork.

daughbra — 2023-10-27 13:16:20 UTC

This is a bowl that I had made on the wheel. I didn't have much inspiration for this peace. I just love to make bowls and liked the way that the color turned out with the browns, blues, and greens.
