2. Assignment: Create a cup with sculptural element(s)
What is a sculptural element?
the art of carving, modeling, welding, or otherwise producing figurative or abstract works of art in three dimensions, as in relief or in the round

3. Relief vs. In-the-round

4. Assignment:
Sculptural elements can be the form of the cup, the handle, additive or subtractive pieces or a combination of any/all of these
Sculptural elements do not have to be figurative (like a human, or animal). They can be abstract or design-oriented
Overall design and “character” of the piece are important!
Be creative with how you design the form of the cup and the sculptural elements

5. Cup Form Cup must have a handle.
Make sure it is big enough someone could drink from it
Create cup any way you would like – thrown, slab, formed, pinch pot
Move away from straight cylinder if possible unless that form is part of your design

8. Handle element Cup must have a handle.
The handle can be one of (or the) sculptural element
Cup and handle should be related by form and/or concept
Proportion and weight should be planned and the handle should compliment the cup (not detract from it)
