Carving a Tile: 2) Drafting Your Tile

Heyo! In this video I’ll show you how to create a life size draft for your carved tile. We will use a light table (or a window) to create perfectly symmetrical designs. You’ll also plan ahead for how you will glaze your tile later.
This lesson is designed to teach you 2 very important facets of carving: #1) how to carve order in your designs so that a shape looks like it’s in the front, another looks like it is in the farthest back, and a third shape looks like it is in the middle, creating 3 planes. #2) how to carve details into your work such as texture. Carving is an important tool of a sculptor, allowing the artist to etch details into their sculpture to create complex details in their work.
I hope you enjoy this lesson!

Carved Tile Brainstorming Worksheet: www.teacherspa...
This brainstorming worksheet will walk your ceramics students through designing a symmetrical design using a minimum of 5 shapes. They'll then carve 3 textures onto 3 of their shapes.
This lesson will help students with 3 main facets of carving:
1) Carving multiple (3) planes with overlapping shapes.
2) Learning to carve shapes into forms with movement.
3) Using carving tools to create specific natural or man-made textures.
These 3 facets of carving are essential stepping stones for students to learn before attempting more advanced sculptures.
This is usually my 2nd project in Ceramics 1 with mostly 9th graders.

Your content is so amazing, you are a gifted teacher! Have you considered starting a Patreon? I would be thrilled to contribute to you being able to create more excellent content, and I bet a lot of others would, too!

That is so incredibly sweet of you! I just work so much extra to make it as a teacher that it doesn't leave a lot of time to edit videos these days... One day hopefully. I would just hate to not be able to deliver for the patrons... I'd have to stop playing Fortnite at night, lol. Thank you for the sweet encouragement, it means so much to me.

@@MissLinneaLark I totally understand! When I support people on Patreon, I don’t really feel entitled to new content, it’s more like, “I’ve seen the quality of what you put out there, I’m happy to give a little partly as appreciation for what you have already made, and partly because I trust that you will make use of it in whatever way you need.” Feels less paternalistic and transactional, lol- but that’s probably not everyone’s approach! And no need to interfere with gaming time- speaking as an OW addict, gaming time is essential self-care!
