Ceramics/Ceramics 2 Final Presentation B block Wed 1/15, A block Thurs 1/16

day, May 22, 20Thurs 6/13

Write a 2 full page (minimum) double spaced 12 point type paper about an artist of your choice who works in ANY 3D medium. ( Do not serach 3D artists and choose an artist who does 2D art that looks 3D)  Artist must be approved by Mr. P before beginning. Paper is double spaced, 12 point font, no additional images, listing all sources in an additional works cited page.  (Be certain that you can find at least 3 different independent sources of information to gather information from.  Wikipedia and the artist's personal site do not count.) Research the artist’s background and their body of work. What are they known for, their training, what medium do they work in, how do they create their work, and what size do they typically work what are their influences…? Please bring in at least one full color image of their work to show the class so everyone leaves learning something about each student’s subject. No plagiarism of any kind as it will result in a ZERO.  We will discuss plagiarism briefly so if you have questions it will up to you to ask.

Please be seated with your printed paper, ready to present before classtime starts.  No emailed or late papers will be accepted.  Please get your work done ahead of time to avoid printers running out of ink, not working, dogs alleviating their hunger etc...

I am available to read drafts to give feedback before you hand in the final.  The writing center is also available to read first drafts.  

Ceramics 2 is the same project except that you will need at least two full color images to present to the class.  A first draft of your paper is due a week before the presentation.

Final project counts as 20% of your final grade so please make sure you know your material (including knowing how to correctly pronounce your artist's name) as you will be asked questions.  Your presentation of the content counts for 10% of your grade, so have your full color image printed or book in hand and give a well thought through synopsis of your paper or read the paper from your seat, whichever you feel will be most effective.
