Found Object Slab Vase
How can artists use found objects to enhance the message or aesthetic of the piece?
Investigate & PlanPart I• In your sketchbook, find and draw 10 examples of vase forms.
• (a form is a 3 dimensional shape or the configuration of something)
Part II• In your sketchbook, brainstorm a list of 20 different (or as many as you
can think of) found objects. • A found object is a natural or manufactured object or an artifact not
originally intended as art, found and considered to have aesthetic value.
Part III• In your sketchbook, draw up 3-4 thumbnail sketches of ideas for your
own design and form. • Then, using card stock, cut out templates of actual size for your chosen
design and construct a “mock-up” of your form.
The ProjectForm• Your challenge is to create a slab built geometric vase or form and
juxtapose it with a free form or organic found object.geometric + free form = contrast
Exterior• For decorative exterior application, choose one element of art and one
principle of design as a basis for your creativity and design.ex. (e)Line + (p)Repetition = Design
Theme• If you struggle with ideas, click on the button that says “Theme Generator”
for a theme for your work. Challenge yourself to go with the first theme that pops up.
