SOOOOOOOOOO...I decided to maybe make something based off a fish of some sort. Apparently great white sharks and some species of hammer head are considered either endangered or under close watch because theyre close to becoming an endangered species. I liked how some of the rhytons balanced on the animal form or had a slight curve but I was not sure if I should try out that curve and just make it a single tube with an animal head/body a the end. Its either I dont add a shark fin which is usually the cause of them being hunted to endangerment or I make the neck of the rhyton longer allowing more liquid to fill it up and allowing the shark to have some sort of body on the Rhyton form.
Goals: 1. Skill Based: To understand and create a relationship with clay and its different stages, i.e. wet, leather hard, bone dry, bisque, and glazed. And also learn some basic firing techniques 2. Visual: To enhance your awareness of form and surface in utilitarian and sculptural ceramics. 3. Conceptual: To build on your basic knowledge of historical and contemporary ceramics from around the world and begin personal research.

great whytons
Looking at all of these rhytons on the Link provided on the syllabus, I noticed a lot of them are of land animals or have 4 legged animals used as the subject matter. For example this rhyton is of a claw probably from a lobster or some sort of crustacean but on it is a horse painted on the side of the claw. So it has a watery influence with the claw but it goes back to these land animals that seem to be so popular.
