Students will analyze architecture and recreate their own structure in clay using stiff slab construction.

Teach your students how to create luminaries in clay. Using a variety of hand building techniques or wheel throwing techniques have your students create pierced clay vessels designed to hold a light/candle. Student examples from AP 3-D to Basic ceramics. Rubric included for Green ware stage, and Glaze fired stage.

Students will learn to turn a shape into a form. They create a sketch plan and then build a mold to pour plaster into in order to create a sculpture with voids, recesses, and elevation changes.

Students will design a textural component to repeat to use as a building block to create a Vessel. The construction method is still the same if the students were to use a coil only this method requires them to construct the form with a student designed shape or form. This can be applied to use with both hand building students and wheel throwing students. There is also a modified example section for students who need extra support. While I work with midrange(cone 6) you can modify the lesson
