Empty Bowls 2017

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.
