For this project we had to make a dish that connects all of the group members in a way. The ingredient I chose was green peppers because it's something my grandma use to put in all her meals and it made it more flavorful. Then we had to complete a google slideshow that connects our dish with Persepolis
The purpose of this project was to create dishes using ceramics to represent the Columbian exchange and food. All the other classes involve us making food and coming up with recipes for them so that’s how they’re all connected. For my dish I made a mini bowl but I was absent so it’s not in the picture, but my group (Devon and Jackson) chose to make a cup, plate, and a bowl that each have food engravings of food on them. They choose to do indigenous engravings because the european colonizers invaded the indigenous territories which had a strong impact of the indigenous. The process was first sketching ideas, molding the clay, engraving the symbols into the pieces, then firing and glazing our work.
For this part of the project we had to make tessellation mats that somehow represented food scarcity while also making it about geometry.
