Students will create a 5x5-inch clay tile in relief based on a personal story about an animal. The project focuses on using the sculptural techniques of addition (building up clay) and subtraction (carving away clay) to create a sense of depth and texture. The goal is for students to visually represent a memory or story, and to understand how these techniques create a three-dimensional effect.
Learning Objectives
Students will be able to define and explain the concepts of relief sculpture, addition, and subtraction in the context of clay.
Students will be able to plan a design based on a personal narrative.
Students will be able to successfully create a 5x5-inch clay tile using proper clay-handling techniques. The addition can be over 5x5 but within 6x6.
Students will be able to apply both additive and subtractive methods to create a textured relief surface.
Students will be able to glaze and finish their ceramic artwork for a final piece.
