2)What is the name of the group that makes up the whole ceramic exhibition and the title of the show?
Interpreting ceramics. Ceramics Association of Southern Africa KZN Region
Take a picture of your chosen item.
3)Document information about the item; title, name of artist, material, size, price etc.
Horse with detailed "zentangle" on its skin, Artist- Carol Hayward Fell, material- stoneware and porcelain, Price- R5000
4)What methods of making did the artist use, Coil building, Slab building, throwing on a wheel or other? Describe this method. If you choose other describe the method you
think they have used.
I think the artist moulded the horse out and left it to dry then used a icing gun (for ceramics) to put the fine details on the horse.
5)Describe the piece? It’s form, shape, does it depict anything or is it abstract? Is it textured, is it glazed? etc.
The shape shows it's an horse, so does it's form. It is not abstract.
6)What are your feelings about the piece and what caused you to select it for study? Explain.
I chose this peice because I could see the hard effort that was put into it. It's not hard on the eye, the smooth white colour of the porcelain lets the bright white pattern stand out.
7)Choose 3 elements (Line, shape etc.); describe the element and how it has been used in the piece and explain its function.
Line- the line is curved creating a sense of size
Shape- the shapes are all different but clearly show it is a horse
Texture- the 3D pattern on the horse creates a texture. When touched it's obviously not smooth but still links it to the texture of a horse, lumpy and rough.
8)Is the artist well established? Do they have a website? Record the URL
The artist is not well established. She has a Facebook account but it only shows her
paintings not this specific item.
9)Is the way the piece displayed enhance the viewing of the piece? Explain. Can you use the piece as a utensil or is it purely for display? Yes, you can easily walk around the object viewing all angles and sides of the horse. The object is purely for display.
