We created a clay flower bowl inspired by either Georgia O'Keeffe or Vincent Van Gogh's paintings of flowers. First we had to wedge the clay, then we had to roll it on to a slab. Then we laid the bowl on top of the clay and cut a circle out of it. Next we put the clay in a bowl to help get the shape that we were looking for. To make the flower shape you could either carve it out before putting it into the bowl or you could mold the clay while it was already in the bowl. I molded the clay because I went with Georgia O'Keeffe's insperation. Then you had to include an additive and sub-tractive feature to the bowl. An optional part of the project was to paint the bowl. ~This would be to have the students carve other works of art, or replicate pots that were made in history.
