Ceramics Beginning Students
Apply what you've learned about taking more effective notes to create a set of notes from Ceramics Basic Notes Parts 1-2.
Ceramics Intermediate, Proficient, and Advanced Students
Condense the information from Ceramic Basics Notes into an Infographic or 8-Page Booklet. Sounds easy but you need to decide how to capture all of the information from the notes as efficiently as possible.

Ceramic Basics Mini Projects
Part 1: Make the projects
- Make 4 mini projects: one made using Pinch, one made using Coils, using Slabs, and one where you apply all 3 techniques in the same project.
- Each project should take about 40-50 minutes to complete.
- The buttons below are links to videos that will show you how to complete the techniques
- Stage and photograph final projects (watch video for how to do that)
- Write an artist statement talking about what worked well, what was most challenging, what did you like/not like about any part of the process, etc. (looking for how you are applying the Ceramic Basics Vocabulary)
- Combine all images and artist statement into 1 document (ex: google Docs or slides), make sure images fill the space and are in focus.
- Submit a PDF of that Document to Canvas
