    The Art Problem:
    This Creative Challenge invites
    students to interpret the idiom
    of their choice through the
    creation of clay sculptural
    busts (about 2/3 lifesize).
    Once fired, students enhance
    both the form and content of
    their pieces with a cold finish
    by, first, underpainting them in
    black, then dry brushing white
    or off-white over the black
    and, finally, adding highlights,
    shadows, mood and surface
    texture through mark-making
    in colored pencils.

    1. What is the meaning of
    Warishinas Plum Beautiful?
    What did the artist do with
    ovals in Plum Beautiful?

    It is a comment on
    womens traditional role in
    society.
    She echoes and repeats
    ovals to draw attention to
    the piece of fruit the
    woman is holding.
    2. What is Viola Frey trying to say with her huge imposing
    figures?

    The figures are huge


    and imposing. She
    uses bright primary
    colors to show the
    flaws that some
    people try to hide in
    social situations.
    The women in her
    sculptures are not
    victims.
    3. How does Roxanne Swentzell use contrast to create
    meaning in her Native American Sculptures?

    She uses organic


    shapes and
    geometric Pueblo
    patterns to
    symbolize the clash
    of cultures
    experienced by
    many Native
    Americans
    4. What makes Daisy Youngbloods animals seem
    vulnerable?

    The bent and twisted


    bodies, rough
    textures, and
    fragmented faces
    make the creatures
    appear vulnerable.
    5. How does Maryann Webster make her porcelain
    sculptures?

    She makes plaster


    molds of real objects
    like shells, then she
    cast them by pressing
    porcelain clay into the
    molds. She twists and
    distorts the forms to
    suggest
    environmental
    damage.
    6. How does Carol Gentithes use humor in her sculptures?

    She stylizes the


    animals, and
    uses distortion
    and
    exaggeration.
    7. Explain some ways ceramic artists use clay to make
    landscapes.
    They can be inspired by
    the colors in the
    landscapes and paint
    pieces with those colors.
    They can use flat slabs
    that have different
    textures on them to make
    landscapes and they can
    use landscapes to
    decorate three-
    dimensional shapes
