Advanced Ceramics Projects

Advanced Studio Ceramics students are assigned the following projects which they can do in any order.
- Teapot and cup set
- Head/portrait
-Wheelwork
- Choice

Here is some inspiration and resources for work

Teapots- you can make it look like something recognizable or it could be abstract...it could be a person, a character, a building, natural forms or geometric shapes. However, it must have a lid that fits and stays on, a spout and handle that function and a cup that matches.

For the Head/Portrait

Ways to get your creativity going

I found this great list of different ways to go about thinking about solving a creative problem....like art 2's new portrait project or Ceramics 1's Food Specific Project.  Check it out and notice that the first steps are all about writing words associated with it down....just like I always tell you ;)

Art 2: Portraiture

Art 2 is working on Portrait Drawing.  Here are some tutorials on individual features and general facial proportions. Use them to help you with your homework which is to "draw one mouth, one nose and one eye from direct observation" Due Thursday 10/16

Drawing pencils

Art 2 is working on drawing skills in preparation for a new still life pastel... here's some info about the types of pencils from about.com


"Simply, the H means hard and B means black. H pencils, because they are hard, leave less graphite on the paper, so are lighter. B pencils are softer, so leave more graphite on the paper, and so are darker. F means Fine Point, and it is quite a hard pencil - easy to keep sharp, but generally a bit too hard for general drawing. The more Hs, the harder it is (so a 4 H is harder than a 2H) - HB is kind of in the middle, though for drawing, its still reasonably hard - and the more Bs it has, the softer it is - so the 7B is the softest. HB is equivalent to the standard American Number 2 pencil, B is Number 1."
