SECTION C: (15 marks)

7.Lines:-

 

  • Lines outline the forms and forms within the forms; 
  • Lines distinguish the various forms and spatial levels; 
  • Lines distributed all over the composition gives it an overall linear nature.3 marks

    Forms:-

     

  • Forms are simplified (outlined) 
  • Forms are flat 
  • Forms create pattern.3 marks

    Pattem:-

     

  • Patterms are formed by outlines, shapes and silhouettes; 
  • Crazed/crackled details of the forms; 
  • The distribution of light, dark and grey shapes create patterns3 marks

    Depth:-

     

  • Created by overlaps 
  • Distribution of forms in different levels 
  • Different sizes of forms at different levels create depth.3 marks

    Making/rolling a slab. 1 mark

    Procedure/process

    Make a sketch on the form.

    Knead/wedge the clay to make it malleable or workable.

    Prepare an absorbent fiat surface using plaster or paris or grog.

    Place batons/yardsticks on either side for ensuring even thickness of the slab.

    Using a rolling pin, flatten the clay into a slab.

    Measure and mark the slabs according to the required sizes and shapes.

    Cut the slabs.

    Score (scratch) along each edge of the slabs using a sharp tool.

    Apply slip/slurry on the scored edges.

    Join the slabs starting from the base appropriately to build up the form.

    Using a palette knife/spatulalbrush, press and work the edges of the slab to join.

    Wet a sponge and use it to rid the clay form off excess slip.

    Leave it to dry in a cool place.
