Students will be asked to create at least 3 pieces on the wheel, specifically following the double sided handout provided to gain an understanding of the process. Once those three pieces have been created, students will be able to make as many pieces as they like on the wheel and adapt the process to suit their needs. Turn in your best glazed piece for your grade.
Any student who makes anything inappropriate, fails to work on the wheel or fails to clean up to the expectations will be removed from the wheel rotation and given the alternate project.
Alternate project:
Write a four page double spaced 12 point type paper with an additional works cited page on the history of wheel throwing. When do the earliest pieces date back to? what cultures started this artform? How did the technology of the wheel develop from 19th century to today? In addition, choose a 21st century ceramic artist and find out about their training background (how long did they study? Where? With who? Why?) What does their work mean to them and why do they use the process that they do?
Paper is due by Friday June 15th.
