Cup Unit
Cup Project 1Beginning and Intermediate: Make 1 footed cup with a handle.
Proficient and Advanced: Make 3 footed cups with a handles. Goal is uniformity (practicing manufacturing the same cups) 1. Create a diagram that shows the anatomy of a cup. 2. Then watch the videos below to get an idea of the different ways to make a cup. (hint, change the speed they play at if you want to get through them faster) 3. Make your cup! |

Notes before starting:
- You don't have to have all the cool tools these people have to make cup- just be creative with what you have!
- work slabs with a plastic bag under them so they don't stick to your surface.
- NEVER pick up greenware by the lip or handle- THEY WILL BREAK IF YOU DO. instead pick up using 2 hands on outside of the project. This increases the surface area and spreads out the force so you're putting less pressure on your cup.
- PICK UP GREENEWAR WITH EXTREME CAUTION- see number 3.

Cup Project 2- Designing YOUR Cup
Project RequirementsBeginning and Intermediate build 1 (will grade best one, plus you'll have a backup in case one breaks)
Proficient-Advanced: build a set of 3 (will grade best 2, but you'll want backups incase they break) Goal: Design and build YOUR cup.
Objective: understand and apply design process to create a footed cup with a handle that's something more than just a simple cylinder with a loop for a handle. |
Understanding Design ProcessCup 1 was following Type 1, the process driven process. You focused on just following the basic skills needed for making a cup. Cup 2 will follow Type 2, and focus product driven and is going to be focused on really thinking about the design of your cup and how best to set yourself up for success.

Step 1: Plan of Action
(Pre-project stuff)
DUE: 11/23 & 11/24
Watch the Creative Process video and complete the Designing MY Cup Worksheet (we'll spend 2 class periods on the worksheet). (print out or re-create on your own paper- just label what is what so I know what I'm looking at when it's being grading) |
