Student Artwork of the Week

6th - 13th June 2011

Year 8 Glazed Pottery- Inspired by Picasso

These beautiful glazed pottery pieces were produced by Year 8 students studying in Ms. Southwick's class. The students developed these after studying the cubist artwork of Pablo Picasso.

The pieces were assembled from flat slabs of clay and then fired in a kiln at over 1000 degrees until hard. They were then painted with special glazes and fired for a second time to create the deep, glossy colour you see here.

- Checklist of Work
- Assessment Grid
