Georgia Gutteridge Kznsa blog

 Art Knzsa
1) Kwa zulu natal society of art
2) interpreting ceramics, ceramics association of southern Africa Kzn region


3) a tall vase sculpted by Garth Hoets: aprox 60cm 
 R 1435
Description: tall narrow vase with figures stoneware
Medium: Reduction fired clay 
4) I think the artists has used the coil method as the coil method can be used to make long cylindrical objects.
5) The shape of the vase is long and as it reaches the top it narrows then curves, the shape of the vase depicts the women on the vase, as the women's body has long legs and a curved waist. The glazed effect adds to the women's physique. Form would be a sculpture.
6) The art piece I chose is very mysterious, because of the mysteriousness i wanted to look deeper into the meaning of the piece, this revealing that the picture of the women imitates the shape of the vase.
7) colour: the colour of the vase adds emphasis to the meaning, the dark brown colour of the vase makes the silhouette women stand out making the curves of the vase stand out.
Form: the main design of the vase is the women so because the vase is tall it makes        me as a women feel powerful and strong.
Line: this artwork is very curvy enhancing the womanly theme.
8) Yes they do,  http://garthhoets.co.za 
9) yes, the artwork has been displayed in its own space with nothing near it this making it the main focal point.
10)yes you can use it as a utensil.
