sculpture in three dimensions
and relief using various
building techniques.
Students must design and
construct at least one
naturalistic sculpture.
Students must design and
construct at least one abstract
sculpture.
5
Demonstrate familiarity with a
wide range of techniques
including pinch, coil, slab,
wheel, additive and subtractive
processes.
Use various techniques to
create ceramic sculpture
Date: 12/12/2013
Means of Assessment
and Criteria for Success
Work created by students
will be analyzed to
determine if the work
exhibits an understanding
of sculpture form? Does
the work show attention
to detail? How clearly are
the forms delineated? Is
there a level of control in
the forming process?
Skills demonstrated or
performance assessed
against a department
standard rubric.
