wheel thrown cylinders!

introduction to 3d art students learned to use 

the potter's wheel and throw a basic cylinder. 

 to add some "fun", they allowed the clay to 

become bonedry, and with a 

ceramic mortar mixture, they adhered decorative pieces.  

underglaze was brushed on the artwork 

and then dipped in a clear glaze!

wow- what a large title for the introduction to 3d art students to swallow!  but, to put it simply, the students will be building a free-standing, in-the-round sculpture made with toothpicks!  participants will learn of  the works of andy goldsworthy, who creates with natural objects in environmental settings, and norman carlberg, who builds a unit and multiples it, to form his works.  click hereto view the powerpoint presentation given to students.
