This document provides instructions for a clay sculpture project involving geometric forms. Students are asked to create a cone no more than 2 inches wide and 3 inches tall, a 1.5 inch cube, a cylinder no more than 1 inch wide and 3 inches tall, and a sphere no more than 2 inches in diameter. Students then choose 3 to 5 of these forms to combine in a sculpture that demonstrates extension, lightness, a simple composition, an impression of weight, or resembles the human form.
