Requirements: You are to create a 3-D Sculpture out of clay that has your name in it. It must be a minimum of 4 characters You will need to color the sculpture in someway that helps to add to the feel or representation of you. You should be able to validate your design to anyone who asks about it and why you did what you did.

In order to make the sculpture more interesting you need to apply the: 9 Principles of 3-D design to the sculpture 1.Focal Point- center of interest 2.Color- use of color to show an artistic trait 3.Repetition- repeating technique to show interest 4.Different Sizes- pieces of your work used to show scale 5.Texture/Pattern- pattern to lead the eye/texture to want to touch 6.Negative Spaces/Holes- allows access to other side of 3-D work 7.Hollows- allows access to inside of sculpture 8.Additions/Movement interesting changes to the structure within the 3-D work 9.Interest on all Sides In order to make the sculpture more interesting you need to apply the: 9 Principles of 3-D design to the sculpture 1.Focal Point- center of interest 2.Color- use of color to show an artistic trait 3.Repetition- repeating technique to show interest 4.Different Sizes- pieces of your work used to show scale 5.Texture/Pattern- pattern to lead the eye/texture to want to touch 6.Negative Spaces/Holes- allows access to other side of 3-D work 7.Hollows- allows access to inside of sculpture 8.Additions/Movement interesting changes to the structure within the 3-D work 9.Interest on all Sides

Clay Terms: Green ClayGreen Clay -Soft clay. Easy to work with. Great to make changes in this stage. Store clay in plastic bags to keep moisture in. SlipSlip - Clay and water mixed together to form a paste ScoringScoring- Roughing up the surface of clay so it does not separate from another piece of clay.(Score and Slip both sides) Leatherhard clayLeatherhard clay- Semi hard clay, can leave a thumbprint but cannot easily move it. Can still make changes to the clay, but only with tools. Hollow clay out in this stage. Store in the cupboards overnight to change green ware into leather hard or use a hair drier for a few minutes.

Clay Terms: Bone DryBone Dry - Clay ready to be fired. Will be white/gray in color. Do not handle in this stage, clay is very brittle. Put in back room right away. Bisque WareBisque Ware - Physically changed clay. Fired to 1800 degrees in a kiln. Sounds like glass when tapped. Can never be turned back to green ware. KilnKiln - Machine used to heat clay. Can reach 2000 plus degrees. FiringFiring - Process of heating clay. Clay Terms: Bone DryBone Dry - Clay ready to be fired. Will be white/gray in color.

Clay Terms: Hollowing toolsHollowing tools - Used to make clay hollow. It is very important to make the clay about a 1/2 an inch thick(size of a playing die) all the way through with free air flow. No air pockets or there will be explosions. Extruder - Used to push out coils or tubes of clay. Slab Roller - Used to roll out even flat sheets of clay Canvas BoardCanvas Board - Board covered in canvas to keep clay from sticking to the table.

 Handle your artwork carefully, especially when wrapping it up at night.  Try not to use much water to smooth out green clay. Just makes slip.  Every added on clay piece needs to be scored and slipped to the main piece.  Do not let your clay piece dry out too fast or it will crack. Clay shrinks up to 10% when it loses its water.  If a crack should occur, wet the area with a vinegar/water solution and fill with paper slip, let dry in a bag slowly. Paper slip is in the yellow bucket on the back shelf  All projects once finished go in the back room on the projects to be fired/bone dry shelf.  Handle your artwork carefully, especially when wrapping it up at night.  Try not to use much water to smooth out green clay.

Stages of clay (Drying): 1.Plastic bags and a damp paper towel keep your clay in a green stage. 2.The cabinets out of a bag will turn your clay leather hard clay overnight or blow dry the clay for 2-5 minutes 3.The cages, kiln room, or any open air will dry you project out to bone dry clay in a couple of days. 4.You will need to rewrap your clay in wet towels and a bag for a full 24hrs to get the clay from bone dry to leather hard/green ware.
