Ceramics- Gargoyles/Knights (week of May 18-22)

For this next project we are going to focus on texture which is the degree of roughness or smoothness of an object.  You are going to research your choice of either knights or gargoyles and create a sketch that demonstrates at least 4 different textures.  Find photographs of at least 4 different surfaces that have different textures that you can incorporate into your piece.  For example if you choose knights, find photo reference of chain mail (not a drawing or painting).  You can find strong references for knights online and specifically at museum websites.  Gargoyles are trickier since they do not really exist so you can have more flexibility with them but you still need photo reference for the four textures.  So for example, maybe you find photo reference of bat wings to create texture for the gargoyle wings.  The gargoyle could be sitting on rough jagged rocks, so find photo references of that.  Email me the 4 photo references that you intend to use for your sketch by Tuesday the 26th.  Make sure each texture is different and have fun!
