Sketching, planning and designing our food-inspired clay bowls.

Our first annual EMPTY BOWLS DINNER & FUNDRAISER will be held on 
Friday, April 1, 2016, 6-9pm
in the HS Cafeteria

On 10/2 & 10/5 students began sketching ideas for their first major project FOOD-INSPIRED BOWLS for our Empty Bowls Project. The previous class students had conducted research on their favorite foods and then used what they learned to help develop ideas for what their food-inspired clay bowls might look like.

Drawing Assignment: Using the drawing paper provided, create detailed sketches of your Empty Bowl design idea. Your bowl should be inspired by your favorite food or food dish. Your drawings should include and consider the following:

Your bowl’s visual design may be based on the research you just conducted about your food/food dish. The design should be inspired by any of the following:

a.     The landscape, location, and/or culture from which your food/food dish ingredients are grown (i.e. an orchard of orange trees since your favorite food is orange sorbet).

b.     The means by which your food are transported (i.e. a farm truck filled with oranges travelling down a rural road).

c.     The factory or warehouse your food is processed (i.e. scenes of factory workers on an assembly line handling oranges for the production of orange sorbet.)

d.     The farmstand and or store where you food is sold.

e.     Your food color, shape, texture, and/or patterns.

f.      Images of the food/food ingredients/brand names/packaging.

g.     Feel free to develop your own ideas beyond what is suggested here.

Draw at least one interior and one exterior view of your bowl

Drawings should be either colored in with colored pencil/markers or labeled with what colors you plan to use.


*Remember this is just a beginning sketch; your ideas may change as you work on your project.
