Make sure you are on target with the assignments and are using your progress scale.

please check out the scale for making a cylinder here -
what are the five main skills we are tying to show in our work?
what do you think is the difference between making a cylinder and an other shape?

answers - skills are -
creating a centered project
making a specific form/shape with even walls
creating a base and lip that are even, study and well formed
glazing evenly to show off the form
creating a unified project using art and design elements

what did you get done? what will you get done?
