Lesson Title: Motivation Ceramic Sculpture Grade Level: 9th-12th

Lesson S & S Concept Statements:

- Artists use knowledge of principles, elements, and science of art to create art that is
motivated by their interests
- Artists create and engage in work to make a statement that is relevant to their
ideals/values/morals/concerns
-The elements of art can be manipulated by artists to create an intentional and purposeful
meaning
Daily Formal Qualities (Elements & Principles of Design):
-shape -form -proportion -space -texture -balance -emphasis -balance -variety

Overall Lesson Objective: Given a PowerPoint presentation on the psychology of

motivation and discussion about what motivates artists, students will create a ceramic
sculpture of something that motivates them using techniques of pinch pot, slab, score
and slip.

Daily Objectives:
-Given a PowerPoint presentation on the psychology of motivation, students can clearly
identify what motivates them and creates a sculpture of it out of ceramic
-Given a demonstration on pinch pots, students will practice this technique and are able
to use it in their sculpture to create organic forms in their sculpture

Assessment Criteria:
-Students identify what motivates them and creates a sculpture of it out of ceramic
-Students use the technique of pinch pot to create organic forms in their sculpture

Teaching Resources Needed to Support the Lesson:

-PowerPoint Presentation –Computer -Projector -Whiteboard (for class Brainstorm)
Artists: -Niam Jain -Alejandro Duran

Art Materials Necessary for the Lesson:

Art: -stoneware -kiln -color glazes -rolling pins –plastic bags -ceramic tools -forks -spoons

III. Motivation of students
Students will be questioning what motivates
artists and themselves and start thinking
about how they could represent their
motivations in a ceramic sculpture. When it
comes to questioning students what
motivates them, teacher will use a

2. Teacher will explain that this technique
can be used to make rounded shapes and
explain why clay can’t be thick so techniques
such as slab and pinch pot are being used in
order to make a larger sculpture that won’t
explode in the kiln. Teacher demonstration
