Finishing up

Where you should be:

• Your portfolio images should be saved in the P drive under your name, labeled "Final Portfolio", have 3 sub folders "Concentration" "Breadth" and "Quality"

• You should be working on your last two pieces: #1 Pat Horsley inspired piece #2 An alternative firing piece

This is what we have left for the year, it is indeed rare to have your only job to be to show up and create art so take full advantage and enjoy this time and make some great stuff before you depart for adulthood. :)

TWIST!

I have decided to remove the blog requirement!

HOWEVER, before you get too excited I want to clarify that the remainder of your grade will be dependent on your last 2 assignments (listed below) and the studio clean up. This is especially important for those of you who did not exactly mesh with the regular blog requirement.

You ALL need to be in class working every day!
Crazy, I know, but very, very true.

Last 2 assignments:

#1 Patrick Horsley inspired piece.
This can be anything inspired from Pat's work, anything GOOD! And I mean darn GOOD! You are the best of the best at Lakeridge and I expect you to show off your stuff. Turn in sub-par, expect a sub-par grade. This should really not be tough. Pat works on the wheel, hand builds, alters, is a glaze wizard.....

#2 Alternative Firing piece.
This can also be anything GOOD, darn GOOD! It needs to be either RAKU, Reduction, Saggar, Horsehair, etc;

Also, you should be thinking about the LO Arts Festival & completing NAHS hours.

Keep in mind we have 7 DAYS left in the studio to work with wet clay after tomorrow! If you have a procrastination habit consider yourself forewarned.

Guest Artist!
