Clay making and firing
Intermediate and Advanced students are responsible for making clay and firing kilns for themselves and others in clay classes. To this end, I have made groups so that certain individuals have total responsibilities for these two activities. The groups are listed below. This week will be an open week, so responsibilities start next week. These groups will be added to the calendar. Please remember to look at the calendar if you don't know who has responsibilities for what week:
Group 1 Group 2 Group 3
Chris Dickson Hannah Johnson Kat Trevino
Latiyah Cotton Tray Thompson Larissa Walters
Susan Stephens
Homework - Figure Sculpture
 |
| Rasterbator |
Make your newspaper armature match the dimensions you took when you measured your head. The armature should be within those dimensions, not exactly those dimensions or your clay form will be a lot bigger than the measurements you made!! No matter your pose, you need to have very clear photographs of the contours of the head from the front and from the side. Have a classmate or other friend take these for you and make sure they are not too close when they photograph you or there will be a distortion in your image. Make these images into a size that can be tiled like the ones that I did for you in class. The Rasterbator site is what I used to make your photos print as tiles. The link for this is embedded in this blog post and in the course resource folder on the Google Drive. Also, I have placed all the photos I adjusted in a folder in each of your personal folders should you need them.
Final Sculpture
Please submit your research and your [3] maquettes to me when we meet to talk about midterms. As a reminder, if you cannot come up with your own idea, refer to the end of the final project sheet for suggestions in list form therein.
