Vocabulary
• Slab building: Building a form by joining sections that have been cut from sheets of damp clay.
• Relief Sculpture: to give the impression that the sculpted material has been raised above the background plane.
• A bas-relief or low relief is a projecting image with a shallow overall depth. Example: coins
• High relief is where in general more than half the mass of the sculpted figure projects from the background.

Principles
Harmony and Unity • all of the elements of a
piece combine to make a balanced, harmonious, complete whole work of art.
• composition with similar elements.
Balance • The way in which the
elements (lines, shapes, colors, textures, etc.) of a piece are arranged.
• Visually weighs the same on both sides of a piece.
• Symmetrical-same on both sides.
• Asymmetrical-not the same but still balanced.

Clay pieces need to be somewhat leather-hard before you attach them.
This helps the structure stay together.

You may choose to combine slab building with pinch or coil techniques!

When you finish your coil design: • Once again, start sketching out ideas for your
slab design.
• Start with these questions:
– Do I want to do a relief sculpture or do I want to build a slab structure? Or attach a relief to a structure?
– Do I want it to be organic or geometric?
– Symmetrical or Asymmetrical?
– Functional or sculptural?
This will be a grade!
