Homework #4 Using History to your advantage

The goal of this assignment is to encourage research, and develop a system for discovering more about your own tastes in art.

Search the internet, library, or your favorite source of imagery to find a historical shape that you would like to attempt. Use your sketch pad to plan out how you will divide the form to make it in parts. Make at least one version of this historical shape. If the form is exceedingly challenging parts can be assembled leather hard with or without the use of the potters wheel.

Hints: Throwing in sections is traditionally used to create large or exceedingly complex forms. There is no size requirement, learning the techniques involved in throwing sectional cylinders can be used on any scale.

When presenting this work (ie at final or critiques) please bring images of the original work(s).
