Students will draw on past experience with coils and use that construction technique as a basis for building three different Jomon (meaning cord pattern) pieces of pottery. This work primarily occurred between 10,000-1000 BC and perhaps even earlier as seen in the links.
After gathering references and sketching, students will throw three pots on the wheel with white clay and create adornments with coils to represent the stylistic trademarks from this era.

1. Some characteristics of this period were almost all Japanese were either fishers or hunters.They added their knowledge to specific artifacts. Their knowledge of how to fundamentally put pieces of clay together and their complex designs to form a variety of things. In the jomon period, of ancient Japan produced a distinctive poetry which distinguishes it from the earlier Paleolithic age.
ReplyDelete2. Some characteristics of the ceramic work during this period were; their pieces represented rope, which also happens to be the meaning of the word "jomon". These pieces were typically a dark grey color with angular edge. They had a curved line decoration and the handles were meant to represent animal heads or vessels with a reddish color.
Cord-markings are the names for the characteristics of the ceramics made at this time. Neolithic refers to Neolithic period in China which began in the year 10,000 BC. Japanese culture involves a lot of decoration. Japanese pottery includes a lot of "jomon", or cord pattern, which is what the Japanese practice most in their ceramic projects. The main two types of pottery for the Japanese are, 1: a dark grey kind with angular edges and curved line decoration that has handles which are commonly shaped to look like animal heads or, 2: vessels with a reddish color and that have no decoration at all. Sometimes, though, there are a few wavy/zigzag lines. The bottoms of the pottery are always rounded or flat, and decoration is probably the main focus.
ReplyDeleteThe characteristics of Japanese culture during this period of time were hunter gathers mostly with fishing and hunting for their food.
ReplyDeleteThe characteristics of the ceramic working during this period were dark gray pieces, decoration was main focal point in addition to the representation of animal heads. All pieces were hand crafted no wheel was present they smoothed the outsides with tools after building the piece up.
Neolithic is the period in time where the first developments of farming started.
Cord-marked is clay that was made with different materials such as rushed shells and plant fibers to help prevent cracking or when the pieces dried or were fired.
The characteristics of the Japanese art culture during this time period relate to the paleolithic age or are Neolithic. Pieces of Jomon pottery were decorated with rope like textures and designs which can also be referred to as cord-marked. There were two main types of work, a dark grey colored piece with jagged edges and the red colored handles which were shaped to look like animal heads. The handles consisted of little to no decoration. From these two types, there were six divisions these works could be but under. First there is the fukabachi which are the most common type of Jomon are deep bowls and jars with wide mouths. Second we have the asabachi which are shallow bowls. Third there are the hachi pieces or bowls which aren't too deep but not shallow, somewhere in between the asabachi and the hachi. Fourth, the sara or bowls almost flat enough to be plates. Fifth are tsubo vessels, consisting of a slim mouth and occasionally a long neck. Then, sixth we have the chuko vessels which are like tea pots, with spouts.
