Ceramic Artist Research Assignment

1. Research a ceramic artist of your choice. Suggested artists: Sandi Pierantozzi, Judy Glasser, Andrea Gill, John Gill, Tom Schiller, Robin Hopper, Thomas Orr, Sally Mason, Les Lawrence, Jim Connell, James Klueg, Bryan Hively, Anita D. Powell, Linda Ganstram, Mark Messenger, Wayne Higby, Anne Currier, Walter McConnell, Michael Torre, Andrew Van Assche…Remember these are suggestions, you are not limited to these people.

**10/22 - On a Word document, post an image of a work of art by one of the artists above. Write 3-5 sentences about the work. Why did you choose this work of art? Was there something special that drew you to it? What are the dimensions of the piece? How was it finished? (glaze, paint, pit, smoke) Is the artist still alive and working today?

2. Create a presentation using power point or another method that includes:
 * Biographical information about the artist
 * 6 – 10 images of the artist’s work. (Do not put all the images on one slide!!)
 * A one to two paragraph reflection that addresses your personal interpretation of the work using reasoned argument.

Presentations should be accessible through Google docs, prezi, online or on a flash drive.
