Lines are everywhere. You can see lines in the grain of a piece of wood or in the cracks on a sidewalk.
In art, Line is an element of art that is the path of a moving point through space.
Lines are used to:
-
Create boundaries between shapes
-
Create boundaries between colors, textures or values
-
Lead the eye from one space to another
-
Create textures
-
Suggest emotional qualities

Grid drawing is a very old technique of transferring images (from sketches to a full size canvas or fresco, etc...)
Always make sure that the number of squares on the original picture and your working area are exactly the same (even if the size of the squares are bigger on the paper). This is because no matter how many times bigger (or smaller) you make the drawing, the proportions and dimensions can only stay the same if the number of boxes (squares) matches exactly.
Make sure you follow all steps below.

Pinch Pot 2

Assignment:
Create a pinch bowl no smaller that the size of your open hand.
Remember to rotate the bowl to keep the wall thickness consistent. Once the bowl is done - add sculptural elements (think: animals, plants) and textural elements (imprints, scratching, texturizing...).
Remember to score and slip when attaching elements.
When your piece is leather dry and almost done: use a damp sponge or wet bruch to smooth every surface, except for texturized.
Scratch YOUR NAME on the bottom side!!!
Examples



Directions
After bisque firing:
Glaze the inside of the bowl. first. Three even layers.
Then glaze the outside with multiple colors. Important: Do not leave any unglazed areas as they will look bad after firing.
You DO NOT GLAZE the BOOTOM of the bowl! If you accidentally got some glaze on the bottom side - wipe it off with a wet sponge. You do not want your art piece to stick to the bottom of the kiln, right? And, by the way, ruining the kiln too...
