Assignment: Duality\Word Play
This assignment focused on the concept of duality. Students created objects based on two contrasting ideas or a word play. Students were challenged to build on a larger scale as well as to visually communicate their ideas.
Assignment: Found Object
The objectives of this assignment were to introduce the beginning clay student to a variety of construction techniques as well as encourage careful observation of an object. Students selected an object that reflected an aspect of their personality or that had an interesting personal history.
