Glass Jewelry Sculptural Piece
Jewelry Final Project
“Glass Sculptural Piece”
Objective:
Students will create an original work of art in clay using
the elements and principles for design quality. This piece will be transformed into glass
using several processes students have covered through the course of the
semester including plaster casting, brushing, filing, sanding, polishing and using
Mod Podge.
State Goals:
Goal 25- Language of the Arts
25.A.4 Analyze and evaluate the effective use of elements,
principles and expressive qualities in a composition/performance in dance,
drama, music and visual arts.
25.A.5 Analyze and evaluate student and professional works
for how aesthetic qualities are used to convey intent, expressive ideas and/or
meaning.
Goal 26- Creating and Performing
26.B.4d Visual Arts: Demonstrate knowledge and skills that
communicate clear and focused ideas based on planning, research and problem
solving.
Materials:
Clay
Plaster
Metal Cylinders
Kiln/Polisher/Sanding Machine
Glass fragments
Mod Podge
Steps:
1.
Sketch
ideas of a piece that’s widest part is its base and has no limbs that extend
out and away from its base. Parts may
only go up from the base. This sketch
has to be approved before moving onto the clay.
2.
Create the sketch in clay form double checking
no parts extend past or away from the base.
3.
Stick the clay to the back counter and tape one
of the cylinders around it. Make sure to
leave about a quarter inch around each side of the clay.
4.
Mix plaster to a “pancake batter”
consistency. Remember to keep water out
of the container of plaster and cover it when you are done.
5.
Pour your plaster mixture over your clay so that
it is at least an inch over the clay.
6.
Let plaster set and teacher will fire the
cylinder.
7.
Once fired, remove all clay pieces from the
plaster to create a mold for your glass.
8.
Fill the entire plaster mold with glass
fragments and set on back counter to be fired again.
9.
Once fired for the second time, your glass piece
should be ready to take out. If it
didn’t fill enough repeat step 8.
10.
To remove glass from plaster soak in water until
plaster becomes loose enough to remove. DO NOT pour plaster down the sink!
11.
Clean out your cylinder and place it back in the
box.
12.
Clean your glass piece off using a brush until
no plaster is left.
13.
File your piece as needed to remove sharp edges
and unwanted bumps.
14.
Use the polisher to add a shine to the surface
of your piece.
15.
To finish the look add Mod Podge to the surface
to create a nice shine.
16.
A key chain, chain, magnet or other creative
uses can be attached as desired.
Painting Parody
Painting Final Project
“Painting Parody”
Objective:
Students will create an original work of art based off of
the work of a famous artist. An original
painting will be transformed by changing characters, background, elements and
principles in a way that it still resembles the original but reads in a
completely different way.
State Goals:
Goal 25- Language of the Arts
25.A.4 Analyze and evaluate the effective use of elements,
principles and expressive qualities in a composition/performance in dance,
drama, music and visual arts.
25.A.5 Analyze and evaluate student and professional works
for how aesthetic qualities are used to convey intent, expressive ideas and/or
meaning.
Goal 26- Creating and Performing
26.B.4d Visual Arts: Demonstrate knowledge and skills that
communicate clear and focused ideas based on planning, research and problem
solving.
Goal 27- Arts and Civilization
27.B.4a Analyze and classify the distinguishing characteristics
of historical and contemporary art works by style, period and culture.
Materials:
18 by 20 Canvas Board
Acrylic paints
Oil paints (optional for detail work on top)
Gel Medium
Steps:
1.
Choose a famous
painting. Provide ARTIST’S NAME, NAME OF
PAINTING & 1PARAGRAPH ABOUT THE ORIGINAL WORK.
2.
Sketch the painting and your idea of changing
it. Think about the elements and
principles of design while doing this and be prepared to explain your decisions. This sketch must be approved before starting
on your canvas.
3.
Trace your sketch onto the canvas using the
overhead or projector.
4.
As always, paint the background first! It’s always easier to paint the background
first in case you go over slightly on objects in the foreground.
5.
Paint the foreground.
6.
Add details, such as highlights, that you can’t
create while the paint underneath is wet or that you want to use oil paint for.
Remember that oil paints can create more
consistent gradients and can also be used to create a glaze effect.
7.
When the picture is dry, coat it will gel medium
to add a protective layer as well as a nice shine that really makes your colors
bold.
8.
Most importantly be creative and have fun with
this! I am excited to see what you can
all come up with.

Art and Design Ceramic Pinch Pot Creatures- Project5
Objective: Students will learn the basics of clay while learning how to make a basic pinch pot. After mastering the technique, students will creatively transform a pinch pot into a creature.
Steps:
1. Introduce pinch pots by making them out of modeling clay.
2. Spend a second day making pinch pots out of modeling clay and print out photos of an animal they would like to turn their pinch pot into.

4. Learn how to slip and score to attach pieces.
5. Begin work on first pinch pot for creature.
6. Once pinch pot is approved more clay will be given to add details. Continue until completed.
