This is a graded assignment and you must complete a statement regardless of if you are submitting your bowl for auction.
The first paragraph is basically the “What” of the project: What issue are you addressing? What metaphor/symbolism did you use/what does your vessel represent? This is a straightforward, introductory paragraph.
The second paragraph is the How: How is your vessel conveying the message you discussed above? How did you design it? How did you use the elements and principles to create a unified and complete piece? You should absolutely reference the elements and principles… it is part of the grading criteria! Elements & Principles Vocabulary Elements & Principles Vocabulary
The last paragraph is the Why: Why did you choose that metaphor (the personal connection – why is that important to you?) You should end this paragraph with a sentence that brings it all together… a conclusion.
You must also copy your statement into the following document Bowl Tag. Also include your name and auction price; it must be at least $5.00. Here is a Sample Bowl Tag.
