Ceramics - Tuesday assignment
Finish watching the videos that I posted yesterday.
I should be back tomorrow and we will take two days to make our tripod cups.
Today, four of you can work on the wheel.
The rest of you can take one day and make either:
1. 3-5 clay buttons. Feel free to use the texture plates and add two small holes. Make sure they are smooth on the back and have nothing sharp. Use the stamps to put your initials on the back. Or
2. The perfect pinch pot with a foot.

Art 2 - Tuesday assignment
I should be back tomorrow and we will take a couple of days to make our tripod cups. In the meantime, I want you to go ahead and plan out our next painting. We will focus on landscape paintings and trees.
For today, find 2-3 photos of trees (or parts of trees - roots, limbs, leaves, etc). Photoshop them together. You can also add one random item if you want (clock, antlers, pig face, etc.). Change the background if you want to make it more interesting. Print it out on the FA_MS/HSART printer. It should already be installed into your tablet. We will be loosely painting these so put something together with strong lights and darks as well as color. Be creative!!!

Art 3/AP - Friday Assignment due March 20
Recreate your version of a master work. Assignments are below. Remember to cite the artist and work on the back of your sketch paper.
I want to see less of the artist and more of your voice in your sketch. Use the artist's work as the starting point but add something of yourself to it. These should now move beyond mere copies of the master work. They should now be your own work with the master as the inspiration.
2D - M.C. Escher
3D - Kiki Smith
