Ceramics 2- Jomon

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.

Answer the following in your comment to this entry:

What were characteristics of the Japanese culture during this period?
What were characteristics of the ceramic work during this period?

Define:

neolithic
cord-marked

Copy and paste the following link and after reading, answer the three questions above and define the two terms by commenting on this entry.  Due by Monday Oct. 23rd 8 a.m.

Drawing and Painting- Mixing color with watercolors

Yong Chen is a professional artist/teacher/professor who works mostly with watercolor.  Follow along with this video to the best of your ability.  This exercise will take about a half hour.  Feel free to pause along the way when necessary especially to keep your water clean which allows colors to remain pure.
You will be graded on following the directions and efficient use of classtime. (this does require focus to demonstrate your ability effectively)  Do your best to mix accurately but as always, process is the focus, not finished product.

I strongly recommend subscribing to this channel and watch his lessons that appeal to you.
