1. Seed Pod Abstractions
Big Ideas:
1. What is unity and how is it created?
2. How can I make 3 pieces cohesive and have each piece stand on its own?
3. How can I manipulate tools and found objects in ways to create unique textures?
Objective:
Apply pinch pot techniques to create a series of 3 pieces that are abstract and based off the interesting forms and textures of seed pods. The 3 pieces should create the look of unity by utilizing form, repetition, and texture. Each one of the 3 forms will include 4+ textures each and be in the round.
Project Criteria:
Create 3 hollow pinch pots (they can vary in size and shape but must be related)
Theme is inspired by one or combination of several seed pods
Structure is interesting from all angles (in the round) including from above and below
Forms have added embellishments and attached elements
Forms show at least 4 assorted textures on each pinch pot
Forms are unified, cohesive, all 3 pieces work together as 1 unit, and each piece is unified on its own
All walls are even in thickness, textures are applied thoughtfully, and all attached elements are scored/slipped with smooth blended seams.
