Organic vs Geometric Sculpture Objective: You will list and define geometric and organic shapes in order to apply them to a slab sculpture. DRILL: • List/ draw as many geometric shapes- straight edge as you can: • List/ draw as many organic shapes/ round shapes as you can: • List an artist’s name whose sculptures you like: Fletcher Benton
Geometric vs Organic Contrast • Lets think about straight edge vs curved.
Fletcher Benton Create an abstract slab sculpture: • Must stand up. • Have 5+ forms. • Contrast round vs. straight edge shapes. • At least one of each. (Can be more of one) • Be original. Objective: You will list and define geometric and organic shapes in order to create a plan for the first sculpture.
Move to front table to watch demonstration. Objective: You will describe procedures for working clay in order to connect two slabs together.
How to roll a Slab of Clay: Get supplies- clay and rolling pin Wedge clay Flatten clay. Roll forward only. 3 times, then flip!!! Roll 3 times. Flip it. When desired thickness, cut shape with knife.
Joining Clay 1. Score with knife to create teeth on both parts. 2. Add slip (clay and water)- acts like glue. 3. Join to create bridge to connect pieces.
Supplies that you need: • Clay base • Rolling pin Knife • Wooden tool (for joining) • Slip • Clay • Stylus (Scoring tool) Objective: You will describe procedures for working clay in order to connect two slabs together.
How to Store clay: My Clay piece- • Put on cardboard base • Wrap in damp newspaper • Cover in grocery bag completely. • Put tape on the bag with your name on it. • Store in designated spot. • *Always close the clay bag up or the clay will dry out!!!
How to clean up and store clay: My Table- • Scrape table with tool • Place dried clay in bin • Put extra clay away • Put tools back in the correct spot (organized), • Wash with wet sponge • Dry with newspaper. • *Always close the clay bag up or the clay will dry out!!!
Review: • What are the steps for rolling a slab? • How do you join clay? • What type of shapes did you cut? • Geometric or Organic?
Organic vs Geometric Sculpture *Students in clay class identified and defined geometric and organic shapes. *They built sculptures with paper to show a contrast of the two types of shapes. *They practiced attaching pieces together and getting the sculpture to stand. *This is practice for their first clay sculpture that will be the same concept using slabs of clay.
