Method of Working Slab - Creating a form utilizing flat pieces of clay Slab - a thick, flat plate, or slice of clay. Slab method - A method of making pottery in which a thick, flat plate, or slice, of clay is cut into shapes which are joined to form an object. The joined edges are scored and slip is used. |
Assessment
Creating
Formative:Performance: Authentic TaskStudent based problem solving skills.
Contemporary Artist
Formative:Oral: DiscussionWe discussed some contemporary artist in class and students did research on individual contemporary artists all focusing on free standing sculptures.
Group Critique and Display
Formative:Other: Peer Assessment Students will be assessed by their overall contribution to the group critique. Student's are expected to discuss and analyze each others works of art and explain what aspects they found to be difficult and successful for their composition. Students will also discuss how they would like their art works to be displayed for others to see. We will talk about the importance of croup displays and how they are viewed by others and open for interpretation.
