Archived Student Artwork
Various student work from 2005 and earlier.
This example is from a Ceramics I, Introductory Project. The project was to build a clay box with handled lid. Students were encouraged to experiment with texture, glazes and building techniques.
This was a long term ceramics project, lasting usually at least 6 weeks. The students were asked to plan out sketches for pieces that could be put together vertically. The goal was to create a personalized "totum pole" with a theme.
I asked the students to pay special attention to "finishing" the project with careful craftsmanship (hiding the stick that holds up the objects, disguising the can of concrete at the bottom, etc).
Some chosen themes were, "The Garden", "Delicate", Ocean Life", "Places I've Traveled" and "Who I Am."
During this sculpture project students were encouraged to use some form of paper to create a larger than life, Pop Art-Inspired object. This Pilsbury dough boy stood about 3.5 or 4 feet tall.
Working with clay again, students were to look at images of food, select one, sketch the image and then create it from clay.
They were encouraged to compare the contrasting relationship between things. For example, an inedible object that looks like something you can eat. Metallic glaze on something that is not made of metal (pancakes).
