UNIT 6: BIG PROJECT

THE LAST PROJECT IS A COMBINATION OF EVERYTHING YOU LEARNED

1. YOU MAY CHOOSE ANY MEDIUM (or a combination of mediums)... but you must consider our course essential question: "What design and technical considerations are necessary for successful work with clay, and other sculpting materials?"

2. YOU MUST ALSO CONSIDER OUR 2ND COURSE ESSENTIAL QUESTION: "To what extent does good design integrate form with function?"  (YOUR DESIGN MUST MUST BE FUNCTIONAL AND DECORATIVE)

THE PLAN OF ACTION:

HERE ARE all of the skills and lessons that were covered for the entire semester:

• SUBTRACTIVE CARVING

• PLASTER

• WHEEL-THROWING

• WORKING WITH CLAY

• FIGURATIVE SCULPTURE

• WORKING WITH PLASTIC TAPE AND WRAP

• MIXED MEDIA SCULPTURE

• CONSIDERING ARTISTIC INTENTION IN CREATION

• CONSIDERING RATIO AND PROPORTION

• CONSIDERING CRAFTSMANSHIP AND TECHNIQUE

The BIG PROJECT and the parameters:

• Topics could be (but are not limited to): see attached list at the bottom of this file.

• Project must be able to answer the TWO course essential questions. (SEE ABOVE)

• Excellent design, integrates form with function

• EXCELLENT CRAFTSMANSHIP AND TECHNIQUE

3. Students will sketch their ideas and concepts for their final project for teacher approval

4. Students will create small machetes (if needed, depending on materials used) for their final project

5. Students will make their project

6. Students will share/present and critique the project–the last day of class so the seniors can participate.

7. Students will continue the critique, if more time is needed on the exam date.
