1. Elements & Principles of Design Coil Pots
Take out your notebook.

2. Elements of Art (building blocks of visual art)
Line
Shape/form
Color
Value
Texture
Space/perspective

3. Principles of Design (use or arrangement of the elements)
Pattern
Rhythm/movement
Proportion/scale
Balance
Unity
Emphasis

4. Coil Pot Steps Create the base (pinch)
below.
Coil Pot Steps
Create the base (pinch)
Roll coils (thick as thumb, consistent)
Attach coils (smooth inside)
Repeat

5. Attaching Clay- two methods
Smoothing (wet to wet clay)
Scoring (leather-hard clay, maintains form)
Score-water-score
Score and slip
Score- carve or scratch lines into the surface of the clay; use a cross-hatch pattern when attaching clay.
Slip- watered-down clay about the consistency of thick yogurt; acts as a glue when attaching clay.

6. Coil Pot Project Requirements: (copy underlined)
At least 80% coils
Smooth inside
Final wet clay height at least 6 inches
Base width at least 3 inches
4 sketches filling an 8.5x11 inch paper
Greenware deadline: Friday 8/28/15
After sketching, choose one sketch
to focus on and show me your
sketches to get clay*!

7. Coil Pot Grading Rubric:
Directions & Techniques
Followed project direct. & req. (initials & period, min. height = 6 in., min. width = 3 in)
Appropriate techniques (consistent coil size, mostly coil, smooth inside)
Composition & Creativity
Final sculpture is highly developed, unified and interesting from all angles
A high level of creativity of form; engaging composition; took artistic risks
Craftsmanship
High level of craftsmanship is showcased
Surfaces, details, connections/scoring & slipping are done with intention
No extra marks, gashes, remnants, or cracks
Effort & Participation
Student worked every day for the entire period without a reminder
Didn’t rush through the project (first one done isn’t the best)
Cleaned up adequately and at the appropriate time each day
