This term you will be creating a small wall hanging using clay relief tiles. The topic will be ...... 'Africa re-visited'.
The supports for the wall hanging will be provided as a design constraint. Each panel measures 24 cm x 24 cm and you may use as few (or as many) as you need.

Start your process work by brainstorming your ideas with little sketches.

• Research the work of other ceramic artists. 
• Find out how to make small shaped tiles.
  You could 'model' plastic clay OR 'carve' leather hard clay.
• Take photos of your environment that you could use. 
• Make paper patterns for your tiles. Move them around to create a composition.
• Make some coloured drawings to show the glazes you could use. Your teacher will demonstrate a new oil pastel technique. LINK to the kamKame oil pastel workshop.
• Investigate shapes; patterns; textures; colours; contrasts; focal areas; 
• All this process work will be collected into your Ceramics Sourcebook - worth 50 marks.
