The “Angle Management” Project

The goal of Angle Management is to help students apply, meaning to form, intellect to object, and the ideals of balance, harmony & symmetry. Students will be creating a potter’s wheel and spinning art pieces to evoke all angles of human emotion.

Scope of Work

Every team of two (2) students is responsible for creating a potter’s wheel. The methods of spinning are up to each team. The students will also create original spinning art pieces. The following materials & tools will be provided for analysis:
-- One Circular Particle Board (12” outside diameter (OD))
-- Tempera Paint
-- Dixie Cups
-- Popsicle Sticks
-- 12" by 12" Cardstock
-- Painters Tape
