Up and Down Town: This was created by making my paper 3-D. Once again, complementary colors were used to create this. By cutting different lengths and widths with my construction paper I made many different shapes or 3-D representations. This was done by only glueing down the ends of the strips of paper. I used things like just folding it back and forth to create stairs, I wrapped some around my pencil to give it a curly cue effect, and I also created a triangle tunnel. Some other things were done just by using imagination like my arches and shapes.
Extension Project: Another way to use this project would be in comparing 2-D and 3-D and the importance of both. By looking at this project in just a picture one would not be able to tell that it is actually 3-D and the differences and likenesses can be discussed about both. Also, how one can make something look 3-D in a 2-D project.
By using the coiling technique a coil pot was created. This was done by making long cylinders out of the clay and then having them places on top of each other to create the pot. After it was all together one had to smooth out the inside to make sure that one could not see the coils. On the outside I used red paint to cover the inside of the pot and orange on the outside. I also put 5 hearts, 2 large, 3 small. These depict my family because they are so important to me and I did not think just one was enough to show all of them.
Extension Project: To tie in having a symbol on the outside of the pot one could use this requirement in writing or language arts. Instead of writing just 3-5 sentences a student may have to write a 1-2 page paper on why they chose each thing on their pot. This would help students with their writing skills and also force them to think about why they truly put that symbol on their pot.
