Student work from CSU:
Building Animals, Animals Building (Images: 1-8 ): Using any process build an animal form considering the abstract, formal qualities - mass/void relationships, volume, line, balance. Build a form like an animal – the overall form emerges from the properties and formal information of the materials or constituent units. The form displays qualities of emergent form and self- organizing systems. (ie: birds nests, ant colonies, spider webs, dams). Create two additional elements to add narrative or commentary to animal/animal forms.
Historical/Contemporary reproducing historical form, creating your own form, and developing surface
design (Images 9 -15)
a. Choose 2 vertical forms from the books placed on reserve in the library. Make photocopies each at 8’’ & 16’’
b. Draw the profile curve of one form and make a foam core template (8’’)
c. Cut the 16’’ form photocopies into segments and re attach them into a new form. Draw the profile the new form and make a foam core
c. Reproduce both forms using coil building
d. Develop a surface composition in colored slip and glaze

- Part I – Cup Project: throw and trim 5 cups that embody an adjective from your word list.
- - Attention to form: body, foot, lip, handle, weight, proportion, scal
- - At least 2 cups must have handles
