AP 3D


It's time to really pick up the pace and get busy! Make sure you look at the AP College Board site.
Everything you need to know about AP is there. You can view examples from the 2009 portfolios.

I will be checking sketch books again. Include a list of all of your work and write the sizes and whether it is Concentration, Quality or Breadth.

You need to make a vase or bowl for our raku firing. Make sure you use the raku clay. Research the process and look at examples. Write about what you found on your blog.

Check out ceramic artist Chris Campbell. She uses a very interesting technique with colored clay. She also has many interesting links to some other impressive artists.

Sketch books, your vase for raku and at least 1 other piece will be evaluated on March 24th.

CERAMICS 1





















































Ceramics 1 students are creating some very nice work. Their skills are improving and their work is getting better with each project. My special thank you to ceramic artist Marilee Hall for sharing her chalk pastel technique with us. It was an absolute success. We all loved experimenting with the chalk. I also need to thank artists Kimmy Cantrell and The Mask Woman Peggy Bjerkan for the wonderful examples that influenced our masks.

I hope you enjoy our pictures. You can see this work and more in person at our Spring Art Show, opening the evening of March 23rd in our media center.
