Ceramics

2. Learning Target: I can visualize and hypothesis to generate plans from previous knowledge and apply it with new knowledge for creating a luminary using the slab method.

3. Things to think about:
Think about how you are going to create the form of the luminary.
How are you going to create negative space for the light to shine thru?
How is the smoke going to escape from the top?
