Ceramics 2- Contemporary Art 3D mixed media

Begin research of contemporary artists who work on the wheel with clay or mixed media.  Students will continue to investigate untraditional approaches to building with clay and have the option of bringing in different media to combine with clay including wire and wood. Exploration of artists who are currently working in the field will be the focus for this project. Students will be able to choose red or white clay or perhaps a combination. 

Questions to consider when beginning this project:

Which artist should I focus on as an influence for my production?
What should I choose as a subject?
What materials or techniques should I incorporate?

Choose an artist and choose you materials you will use.  Once approved by Mr. Purcell, begin building your piece.  Consider the practical aspects of clay being fired and how additional materials may be incorporated without being fired, but joined afterwards.
