PLEASE POWER OFF YOUR iPAD FOR THE BREAK - when you are done blogging. Think it will help them from lagging.

- make sure you blog today about your progress in clay. Please include any new information you've learned about this mid-fire range clay and some of the ideas you have been working with in the creation of your pinch pot.

The Plan -

Today - we will be finishing the pinch pot in wet clay, blogging and leaving it out of the bag to dry. Make sure you have a hole in the base - rubric is up. MAKE SURE YOUR NAME AND PD # ARE ON THE BASE

last week before break we will be doing a soft slab, firing the pinch pots, glazing the pinch pots and blogging about our progress.

The week after break we will make a firm slab project, fire and glaze it.

We will finish the semester with iPad drawings and various other final assignments.

What is going to be graded - asap - clay tomorrow

Came in this morning and found about twenty of or new brushes not washed and in container upside down -
RUINED!
these are new brushes - bought just for us - now severely damaged.

Okay, let's finish the painting and blogging today - check the status of your and your table mate's blog - i.e. the skull, measured and generic face with formative paragraph - and make sure it is there.

Finish your blogs at home over the week-end. for the painting. Last day to use Ipads for this will be on Monday.

mouths have soft edges
highlights one end of nose, cheek bones, tip of chin, forehead, and lower lip.
