Emphasis
Research
Research pouring vessel forms, both historic and contemporary.
Consider your own references for form, proportion and scale for the
various parts, and where you would like to place emphasis in your
vessel. Use sketches to develop ideas: do at least 8 sketches of
various ideas. Use color on your sketches to research options for
surface color, texture, and/or value. Consider how light will react with
your piece. Review your sketches. Make 5 quick, solid maquettes to
develop your best idea. Use slip to indicate color and value options.
Make
Make 3 variations of the same form where you either create emphasis
in different ways, or in different places. Color and value should
reinforce emphasis created through scale and/or proportion. Minimum
size is 8” in one dimension.
