Height X Diameter

How does knowing the contexts, histories, and traditions of art forms help us create works of art and design? Why do artists follow or break from established traditions?

I have learned so much from this project, and the video we watched was very informative. I loved getting to learn about the history of Pueblo pots/coil pots and then make my own directly after. Some of the most interesting things I learned were about how Pueblo people fire their pieces, the speed at which clay dries (and the importance of understanding that), and sgraffito, which I found very tricky but very fun!
