{Ceramics 1} Focus/Closure for Friday, 9/20

{Ceramics 1} 
Sketchbooks are graded today!!!

Focus:  (Write down and sketch)

Surface treatments...sketch a quick example of each and label.

Carving: Using tools to carve out large amounts of clay usually from a leather-hard surface. The carving can create negative space or just leave deep impressions.

Etching: The use of tools (I recommend the pin tool, No. 2 pencil, or ball point pen) to create a design on the surface of the clay.

Relief: a relief is a separate piece of clay you have sculpted and added on the surface for decoration.  Remember to score and slip.


Objectives:
*Symmetrical Pot should have a foot and should be burnished.
*Organic Pot should be in the process of a foot and burnished.
*Begin sketches for Theme Pinch Pot with lid.  Remember to write 3 ideas down.
*IF sketch is approved by me, you may begin 3rd pinch pot.

Closure:  In the Pinch Pot Owl below, what surface treatments were used?  (Relief, etching, and/or carving.)
