I've really been enjoying the lessons presented by my class mates in class. These are wonderful ideas that I can hopefully use one day as a teacher. All but one of the projects as "team theme" which is always fun! Team based activities inspire community and individuality in that while two people work together, they certainly through compare and contrast become more able to identify their own unique style.
There were many flaws in my presentation; the biggest being that my team did not create a demo. As the days go on this is torturing me!! I think I would like to record a video of instructions and demonstrations the complete step by step process. The first step would be on sketching the individual forms (head, torso, arms, legs). The second would be on how to collaborate different people's forms into one sketch. The third would be on translating the sketch into 3d clay sculpture, and clay techniques (wedging, slipping, scoring, addition, subtraction). This could also be fallowed by a 4th video demo on glazing. Although my time has already expired for presenting these demonstrations live to the class, I would be happy to post a video of the demos on this message board and on black board. Hopefully it will make the lesson more effective, complete, and applicable for other teachers to use with their students in the near future.
