Altered Wheel Forms

In class, you have seen demonstrations of different ways to change forms made on the wheel. We practiced faceting, squaring, cutting darts and attaching two pieces together. Here are some examples of pieces made on the wheel, then altered!

Have fun practicing these techniques--remember to use at least two pieces or techniques in your final project!

HOMEWORK--DUE THURSDAY OCTOBER 6th

In your journal, write down the answers to the following questions. Please be ready to pass them in at the beginning of class on Thursday for full credit!

1. What object have you chosen to use for your micro to macro project? Why have you chosen this object--What personal significance does this object have to you?

2. How will blowing this object up change its meaning to the viewer? Think about its original intent or use--would you still be able to use it in its intended way? Does it become funny, scary, etc. when it is large?

3. What do you think will be the most difficult part of making your object? Write ideas of how you might solve this issue, so we can troubleshoot before beginning!
