This project combines storytelling with ceramics.
First you need to come up with a one page story that centers around a figure or object that you can sculpt out of clay. You will be creating not just the figure but what is happening to them.
The video in this link explains how to create a strong hand built ceramic figure
Once I have reviewed your story and drawings (front and back, this is 3D!) You will need following materials.
a fist full of clay,
water and paper towels
a ziplock baggie (to store your wet clay in) (Name)
a tongue depressor (to smooth over the seams of attached parts and cracks)
a bamboo skewer (to create holes to receive appendages)
a plastic knife (to cut the clay)
a piece of matt board (to build your figure on) (Name)
a piece of canvas (to cover the table)
Rubric:
Story is one typed page
ceramic subject highlights the culmination of the story, not just the figure itself. (think a scene from the story)
two-three drawings of what that will look like. The ceramic sculpture will be about the size of a hamburger or grapefruit.
Sculpture will be colorfully painted after firing.
