Textured Cylindrical Planter Authors: Brian Henkel with Carol Gould Grade Level: 1st

Enduring UnderstandingThree dimensional forms can be built using two dimensional shapes. Natural objects can be used to create actual texture in clay.

Lesson Description (Use for family communication and displaying student art)Students build a three dimensional form using two dimensional shapes by making a cylindrical clay container/planter. Natural objects are impressed into clay to create texture. Containers are bisque fired, glazed and planted with seeds.

Learning Targets and Assessment CriteriaTarget: Identifies basic three dimensional geometric forms.

Criteria: Points out and labels prisms, cubes, cylinders and cones. Target: Describes and makes textures.

Criteria: Selects words about texture and then uses natural objects to impress texture in clay slab.Target: Uses hand-building techniques to create a clay planter.

Criteria: Carefully scores and joins rectangular slab and circular test tile, glazes (after bisque

firing), and plants seeds in finished clay container.

Pre-TeachFocus on textures all around us.

Lesson Steps Outline1. Introduce (or review) basic geometric forms. Ask students to find geometric forms. Introduce and guide art analysis of Eye Benches I by Louise Bourgeois, and Vessel by Magdalene Odundo from SAM collection. Criteria-based teacher checklist: Points out and labels prisms, cubes, cylinders and cones.

2. Facilitate describing texture. Demonstrate and guide creating a small texture test tile, and then adding textures to larger rectangular slab. Criteria-based teacher checklist: Selects words about texture and then uses natural objects to impress texture in clay slab.

3. Demonstrate and guide carefully use scoring and joining/smoothing hand-building techniques to create a clay container/planter. Criteria-based teacher checklist: Carefully scores and joins rectangular slab and circular test tile.

4. Facilitate color choices and demonstrate and guide glazing techniques. Criteria-based teacher checklist: Carefully glazes finished clay container.

5. Facilitate adding soil and planting seeds. Criteria-based teacher checklist: Carefully plants seeds in finished clay container.

LESSON STEPS____________________________________________1. Introduce (or review) basic geometric forms. Ask students to find geometric forms.

In math and in art, there are three-dimensional forms that we make the same way every time. It’s not flat.

We are 3-dimensional but a drawing of us is not. We have names for the three-dimensional geometric forms – spheres (3-D circles), cubes (3-D squares), cylinders (3-D tubes), and cones.

Introduce and guide art analysis of Eye Benches I by Louise Bourgeois, and Vessel by Magdalene Odundo from SAM collection.

Which geometric shapes and forms can you find in these works of art? Turn and talk to a partner and share what you both notice.

Let’s look at these foam blocks (hold up a cylinder or cube with the face toward students) what shape do you see? (circle, square) Is this shape flat?

Now if I wanted this to hold water or a plant, it would need to be 3 dimensional. Picture a shape with walls. Today we are going to use clay to build a cylinder – a 3-Dimensional container/planter.

(Holding up a piece of paper). How would you make this flat rectangle into a cylinder?demonstrate rolling paper, this is what we’re going to do with a clay slab to make our planter.

Criteria-based teacher checklist: Points out and labels prisms, cubes, cylinders and cones._______________________________________________________________________

2. Facilitate describing texture. Demonstrate and guide creating a small texture test tile, and then adding textures to larger rectangular slab.

Texture is the way something feels when we touch it. Today we are going to create actual textures that we can see and feel by impressing natural objects into our clay rectangle before we turn it into a cylinder. Turn and talk with your partner about texture that you see in the room or on yourself.

Watch me as I lay this rough grass on my tile and roll gently over it without pressing too hard. See how the grass left an imprint? I can use other texture objects as a stamp – always being careful not to make the clay too thin. If it is a small object I can use my finger or pencil to press it in.

On your desk, you have a circular test tile and different natural objects to experiment with.

Teacher will carve names in to back of tiles with pencil.

Now carefully add texture to your larger rectangular slab using the natural objects on your table.

Criteria-based teacher checklist: Selects words about texture and then uses natural objects to impress texture in clay slab._______________________________________________________________________

3. Demonstrate and guide carefully use scoring and joining/smoothing hand-building techniques to create a clay container/planter. Students return to the carpet.

Now I am going to show you how to turn your rectangular slab into a cylinder, just like we did with the piece of paper. Watch as I wrap the slab around the cup, scoring with a fork the part where they overlap. Then I carefully join the two parts using my finger and/or popsicle stick. Do this step slowly or the clay won’t stay together.

Now I need to make the bottom of my 3 dimensional planter. I’m going to use my test tile for the bottom. We may need to trace the bottom of our planter on to the small slab to adjust for size. I will score and smooth the bottom on carefully just as I did when I joined the sides.

Notice that there is texture on the inside of your planter – this is your secret message to your plant.

Double-check that names are clear on the bottom of planters after construction (or put number on bottom). Teacher can add drainage holes if desired. Criteria-based teacher checklist: Carefully scores and joins rectangular slab and circular test tile._______________________________________________________________________

4. Facilitate color choices and demonstrate and guide glazing techniques.

Glaze is similar to paint except it contains particles of glass that will melt when it is fired in a kiln. Glaze finishes and seals your project. This is the same process that all potters around the world use to create sculptures and functional containers such vases and planting pots.

Watch as I carefully brush on a light back ground color. I will cover the inside and outside of my planter making sure I have good coverage - but NOT on the bottom. I

can then add extra glaze colors with a thin brush, highlighting the texture on/in the clay.

Bone dry pieces will be fired to cone 04. Criteria-based teacher checklist: Carefully glazes finished clay container._______________________________________________________________________

5. Facilitate adding soil and planting seeds.

Now that your hand-built clay container has been glazed and fired in the kiln (large oven) it is ready for you to plant your seeds in.

Watch as I carefully fill the planter with soil, tap it down and push seeds in gently.

Criteria-based teacher checklist: Carefully plants seeds in finished clay container._______________________________________________________________________

ARTS IMPACT FAMILY LETTER

ARTS LESSON: Textured Cylindrical Planter

Dear Family:

Today your child participated in a Clay lesson. We talked about how geometric 2-Dimensional shapes can be turned into 3-Dimensional forms.

We discovered how to build a three dimensional form using two dimensional shapes.

We created a cylindrical clay container/planter out of flat clay slabs.

We glazed our container and turned it into a planter by planting seeds in it.

At home, you could experiment with taking flat scrap materials like cardboard and connecting them to build 3-Dimensional forms or containers.

Enduring Understanding

Three dimensional forms can be built using two dimensional shapes.Natural objects can be used to create actual texture in clay.
