FACE OFF!!! 3-D Ceramic Face Mask Art In this assignment you will have the time of your life with the ultimate challenge of creating your own Si-FI / Horror ceramic mask complete with elaborate facial features, theme, and back story to go with it. After a quick crash course in mixing clay your will learn the basic steps to creating the basic facial features of a humanistic face. Starting with a clay slab you will create your basic head shape, adding to that you will learn how to create all the facial features in sculptural 3-D form including the eyes, nose, ears, mouth, teeth, brow, etc... Once all basic techniques have been mastered you will be expected to alter them to your own Si-Fi fantasy / Horror theme and provide a background story to go with it. Face-Off is an American reality television game show in which a group of prosthetic makeup artist compete against each other to create prostheses such as those found in science fiction and horror films. A section of Face-Off Season 8 Episode 1 will be shown in class as an example to show how professional make up artist sculptors create with their imagination. Notes: Please remember that you are designing this mask for an audience, your final project will be judged in a contest, please remember to consider your audience when choosing theme and back story.

ABC 2. ABF 3. BD 4. ABCf Abstract Foam Cup Sculpture
For this project in 3-D art you will be altering many of the same object to create something different. You will be using as many or as little of 2 different sizes of standard foam cups ( like you get at a fast food restaurant ) to create one 3-D object. You will cut, fold, crumple, twist, attach, suspend, squish, and alter the cups in any way you can, then attach them together using hot glue to create a recognizable but abstract sculpture. Note: advice from teacher; prior sketch is required for this project, I suggest you come up with a mental idea of what you would like to create but do not envision exactly how it is supposed to look ( example: I want to make a dog out of the foam cups but it does not have to look exactly like the dog I have at home) Do not try to create an exact copy of something you have found an image of that you want to create, instead expierement with the foam cups, cut them up, re-arrange them, let the cup's shape guide you in how your abstract sculpture will appear. Questions:
References: Tara Donovan's Work - IMAGES - VIDEO In class presentation of previous students artworks and images of Tara Donovan's artwork. Vocabulary: abstract: Abstraction indicates a departure from reality in depiction of imagery in art. This departure from accurate representation can be only slight, or it can be partial, or it can be complete. Artwork which takes liberties, altering for instance color and form in ways that are conspicuous, can be said to be partially abstract. Total abstraction bears no trace of any reference to anything recognizable. In geometric abstraction one is unlikely to find references to naturalistic entities. Assessment: Class group critique Rubric Grades: Class work, Participation, Final Project TEKS: Level II 1. ABC 2. ABF 3. BD 4. ABC Wire Sculpture
Human Form in Motion - Chihuly Inspired Form - Miscellaneous Wire Sculpture Objective: Students will use contour lines in 3 three dimension by manipulating bailing wire to create miniature human forms in motion, a Chihuly inspired form, or a Miscellaneous abstract wire sculpture of their choice. Students will have the option to cover the wire sculpture with a tissue paper mache skin and add color using liquid water colors. Questions
Vocabulary: Contour line, continuous contour line. Artist Reference: Dale Chihuly TEKS: Level II 1. ABC 2. ABF 3. BD 4. ABC Student Materials: 18 gauge wire, Bailing wire, telephone wire, any scrap wire, base in needed, wire snips, needle nose pliers, regular pliers. Mini Abstract Ceramic Head
In this project students will create a life sized 3 dimensional portrait of their choice. Students will learn how to build an armature, attach clay, and sculpt the proper proportion of eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and facial / head structure. Students will learn how to remove the head from the armature and learn firing techniques with the kiln. Students will then have several options such as glaze or acrylic washes to finish the surface Questions:
