A comparison of two possible approaches to structural decoration in clay : wheelthrown joined forms with hand-built objects

This project is the building of structural decoration in clay. Joining wheelthrown pieces and building with slabs or coils are the methods used. The work is augmented by a study of the evolution of similar forms in other periods. A list of criteria for evaluating materials and methods is developed. Colored slides of the constructions built for the project are included and the history of each form is discussed.The material presented gives insight into the development of form. The intuitive knowledge gained from the project will be used by the writer as a basis for further exploration of form and can suggest methods and directions for other individuals in their own research. Recommendations are made for stimulating an increased sensitivity to form among high school students.
