Class 20

Dear Students
This is the last week to build anything new in wet clay. If you do not follow this directive, chances are you will not be able to completely finish your work for the semester. After this week, there are four weeks of class remaining including finals. 

CONTENT PORTFOLIO
Today we had critique. Please use the suggestions you heard to strengthen the writing and work you submitted. There is only one more critique for the semester and it will be the final. Please be ready to present. 

HOMEWORK
*Use any extra building time to make as many new pieces as possible, even if you have the required amount.
*Dry and fire all of your work
*Glaze all work
*Create a maquette or drawing that details the final presentation of all your work. See me in person if you do not understand what I am asking you to do.



FIGURATIVE SCULPTURE
All exercises [skeleton, skull, hands, feet] should be completely finished and ready to fire/glaze by next week. If you are not finished with the before-mentioned, you are behind. Please use your time this week to catch up.

HOMEWORK
PORTRAIT BUST
Today I showed you how to flesh out and refine the foundation of the facial features. You should have all your features finalized by class on Thursday. Next class, we will be going over hair and clothes.
FINAL PIECE
This work should be nearing the end of construction. I will be asking to see this work during next class. Please be sure that you use your time until then to get to this point.
