Coil Sculpture
Project Description: Students will create a sculpture that involves coils as at least part of the building methods.
Clay Rules to remember as you continue:
-Clay projects cannot be more than an inch thick or they run the risk of exploding in the kiln. If you have an area that is an inch or thicker you you can poke holes in an non obvious spot or hollow our the area.
-Score and Slip all pieces you are attaching. Stick where you feel like you need extra attachment support.
-Clay needs to air dry (bone dry) completely before it can be put in the kiln, so the thicker/larger the project the longer it will take to dry.
-When creating any clay piece you need to decide how FUNCTIONAL your piece will be and the overall FORM you're trying to create.

Goals (Objectives or Learning Targets)
-3D Sculpture
-Coils are used as part of the sculpture
-Sculpture focuses more on FORM rather than FUNCTION for this assignment. Artwork should be visually appealing.
