Teapot Final Project

4175125000Art History Teapot Final Project Ceramics II Mrs. Holtz & Mrs. Duckworth Art Movement: Tendency or style in art with a specific common philosophy or goal, followed by a group of artists during a restricted period of time, usually a number of years. Task: You will create a functional teapot inspired by an artist or an art movement. Your teapot will need a handle, spout and lid. What you will do: 
Following is a list of art movements and artists to research and consider using as inspiration for your final teapot project. You must first research the characteristics of each of the art movements.

Find 2 images of artwork by each artist listed, print them and attach them in the research packet. You will need to include the title of the work and the date it was created for each.
Based on your research, choose 3 artists you find inspiration from for your final piece. It may be from their overall style or from a specific painting.
Brainstorm and sketch teapot ideas that illustrate the inspiration gained. You may use any one or combination of the building methods covered in this course.
Create 3 final detailed, color drawings of your best teapot idea.
Plan the processes and steps necessary to create your teapot. Think about the glaze before you make the teapot! Make sure the materials and processes you desire are available and possible.
Using your final drawings and process steps – create you teapot!
Functional Things to Think About: 
Placement and function of the handle
Placement and angle of spout
Pouring holes – teapot must hold liquid and pour from one section to the next via a spout
Long flange on the lid to keep it from coming off while pouring
Using calipers to measure opening for the lid to ensure a good fit (especially if throwing the lid)
