Ceramics 2- Mochina Culture South America

Students will discover Peruvian work in the Moche culture from 100-800 AD and the organic nature of the work which were often used as musical instruments. Students will be introduced to using molds to create a variety of handles that they will attach to their work to represent trademark aesthetic choices of this culture. White clay will be used with a monochromatic palette of reds.

Students can choose to focus on 
1) Goddesses/Gods/Shamans with coils/handles integrated into the design
2) Musical instruments integrating elements of animal anatomy and coils/handles

  1. Im playing on making 3 animals. i want some to be made on the wheel and some as a pinch pot. Im planning on having the animal have an open mouth and i plan on have a handle for all of them. They wont be cups you can really use since they'll be a big hole inside
