Ceramics - Wheel throwing videos

Watch the following videos and comment:

You will need to complete a wheel thrown piece for Quarter 2.  This second piece will be graded on merit - not just completion.  All clay pieces MUST be finished before you leave for Christmas.  The last day to work on the wheel is Thursday, Dec. 12.

Art Two - paint by number style painting

Paint by number or painting by numbers are kits having a board on which light markings to indicate areas to paint, and each area has a number and a corresponding numbered paint to use. The kits come with little compartmentalized boxes where the numbered color pigments are stored. The users are encouraged to wash the paintbrush every time a new numbered color is being used. The kits were invented, developed and marketed in 1950 by Max S. Klein, an engineer and owner of the Palmer Paint Company of Detroit, Michigan, and Dan Robbins, a commercial artist.
