Clay Container Project
(Under construction – old and in need of a reno…)
We have practised the Pinch, Coil and Slab techniques of working with clay. Now lets see what we can do!
In this project, you are asked to make a container, any shape, theme or look you want. My only recommendation is that you have a starting point, i.e. a castle tower, a lighthouse, a human are, an elephant’s trunk…
I usually would put pictures below… but instead I want you to draw 6 things that you think could be made into towers
Thank you!
For this project, you should try and make the most interesting and exciting container possible!
Some things to think about: Texture, Detail, Purpose, hold-ability and wicked sweetness.
Each student will need to:
- Pre sketches/ Brain storming 10 Points
- Make 10 thumb-nail [small- 3×5”] sketches from different angles to get a sence of what you are planning to make. 10 points
- Make a draft showing three sides and the detail they intend to put into their container. 30 points
