<![CDATA[AHEIDEMANART.com - Ceramics daily blog]]>Thu, 04 Dec 2025 00:21:05 -0800Weebly<![CDATA[January 12th, 2018]]>Fri, 12 Jan 2018 21:00:00 GMThttps://www.aheidemanart.com/ceramics-daily-blog/january-12th-2018You will notice that I am not here. I am so sorry, however, I am out on extended medical leave. Very bummed, however -- ART GOES ON.

Please follow along on these first day instructions. There are students here who know plenty and they can help. Mr. Meserve is next door. ALSO Mr. Tierney is full of knowledge. Use these guys.

Please follow these instructions.

welcome to ceramics. find your seat. talk to the person next to you. find out their name, and three fun things about them. you will be introducing them to the class. (if you know the person well, then change seats.)


after introductions.... 

what will we learn?

what happens in class?

what should I write on my daily "tool kit" notes?

These look like this and can be copied

There is a formula for making art media + skills + art and design elements + intent = art 
Art can express ideas that are 
Cerebral and  analytical, 
Emotional and felt,   
Or
- Instincts like shock and surprise


what will I be doing?
You should get a sheet with all the assignments for the quarter
* your teacher should print them out for you or you can print one at home.
​the dates will be updated but these are spread sheets with due dates for the entire semester. there is one for beginning, intermediate as well as advanced.
see this page www.aheidemanart.com/projects-assigned.html

and progress scales  -- people who have used them before can explain to the new students how they work.
see this page
www.aheidemanart.com/project-progress-scales.html

 - please get the right progress tracking sheet for your section

Find your locker... new students will need to share a grey locker with someone. Tell the teacher your locker number.

tomorrow we will make teams.

Advanced and Intermediate - You MUST make a website and post your first working blog before you make your first project. You MUST post every week if you are going to work with clay. No working blog no clay. :)
