Ceramics final project

MR. PURCELL 5/13
CERAMICS




PART 1

2 page paper about an artist of your choice who works in any 3D medium (not chalk artists who create drawings that appear to be 3D). Paper is double spaced, listing all sources. Research the artist’s background and their body of work. What are they known for, what kind of training did they have, what medium do they work in, what are their influences…?
Please bring in at least one full color image of their work to show the class during your presentation so everyone leaves learning something about each student’s subject.

Plagiarism of any kind results in a zero.

PART 2

GROUP PROJECT

Students will choose a group to work with which could be their entire table or you could switch things up as long as you have a total of 3 people in your group.
As a class, we will choose a topic and then each group will create a set of pieces that explores a sub category of that topic. For example, if the class votes on ZOO as the topic, one group could choose arctic animals, another could choose reptiles, another insects etc…
Your work should include some kind of environment for your subjects to inhabit.
