Design- the way in which the elements of art are used within a work of art; Balance, Movement, Repetition, Unity, Pattern, Emphasis, and Contrast are the basic Principles of Design

Pattern- repetition of a unit of shape or form

Pottery- an object such as a bowl, plate, or vase that is usually created with clay then baked to high temperatures so the clay becomes hard and waterproof

Slip- really wet clay can be used to join to pieces of clay together or can be used to add color to pottery

Symmetrical Balance- a form of balance that shows the same thing on both sides with a mirror image
