Ceramics Sketchbook AssignmentsEach sketch assignment should fill at least one full sketchbook pages, 8.5x11”). Sketchbook assignments are always due at the start of the week at the

start of the block.

1. Sketch several ideas for a mug. Include all surface details and draw from several perspectives.

2.Make a full-page sketch of your pinch pot whistle animal. Be sure to include how it will look from several angles and make notes about the surface texture.

3.Collect items that will make an interesting impression in clay. Simply gather them and bring to class to keep in school for the quarter.

4. In the style of the Native American, sketch out symbols that would represent you, the culture you live in and your environment. Also plan out how they will come together on a vessel or pot (you decide the shape of the vessel).

5. Have a family member or friend put a detailed item into a bag that you cannot see through. With out looking at it, reach into the bag and feel what it looks like and draw what you feel.

6.Create a sketch for a sculptural memory box. This does not actually have to be a box shape but needs a lid and the inside as well as the outsides should indicate what your most prize possession is. No words are allowed.

7.Create plans for an object of our choosing that if built in ceramics would use slab, coils and pinch pot construction and

label each technique that would be used.8. Sketch out the plan from several angles for your head sculpture.

9. Free sketch. This means you decide what to draw but it needs to be a full page with detail.
