Title of Lesson: Revolution in a Vessel
Enduring Big Idea: Revolution/Change. Students will be exploring how things revolve and change overtime. The students will then be creating ceramic vessels in the shape of a recent object, and on they will create a model of the old object and place it inside the vessel (or vice-versa depending on the student’s preference).
Essential Questions:
• What is revolution?
• How do man-made objects change/evolve overtime?
• Look around the class room, what in here is completely different from how it was 10 years ago? 20 years?
• How has technology affecting revolution?
• Has everything thing changed for the better? Is there anything that has changed for the worse?
• Do you prefer current or past models of objects that have changed?
Objectives:
• The students will learn about hand building clay through hands on experiences. Slabs, coils, pinch pots, scoring, slipping.
• Students will learn about ceramic history by looking at artists’ vessels.
• The students will reflect on their current and past culture to notice revolution.
• The students will look critically about how everyday items have revolved overtime and form an opinion on whether they believe the current or past item is more important.
• Students will have group discussions and share their opinions with others.
Lesson vignette:
Anticipatory set-
• I will start the lesson by showing the students an “underwear timeline”. Next, I will have the students look around the room and takes notes in their sketch books of things that looked different/had different models 10 years ago.
• Students will then decide whether these changes were for the better or for worse.
• Students will share their findings and opinions within their tables.
• Show artist that works with the same kind of vessels (Sam Baron’s telephone, boom box, typewriter)
• I will then introduce my students to various ceramic artists that create vessels by hand building (slab, coils, pinch pots).
• I will show the students short demos of how to do these hand building methods in case they have forgotten from past ceramics classes.
Body of lesson-
• Students will begin brainstorming ideas for their own revolution artwork.
• They will sketch out images of their vessel; decide which item they want to be the main shape, and what item they want to create to go inside the vessel.
• Students will create their vessels using clay. Will be hand built.
• Students will pick whether they glaze, stain, or paint their artwork.
Closure-
• Students will have a critique pow-wow.
• We will go around the classroom and students will talk about their artwork.
• They will discuss whether the old model or the new model of the object is better and the thoughts that went through their mind while creating their artwork.
