Canopic Jars
Students in Ceramics 1 analyzed the characteristics and purposes of products in the visual arts to understand history and world cultures. They were introduced to canopic jars and learned how ceramic vessels were utilized in the mummification process of Egyptians. In order to make their own canopic jar, students learned the art of building a coil pot, using a template to guide their form and using the additive/subtractive method to sculpt the head portion of their jar. Additionally, they unified the top and bottom portions of their jars using color, texture/sgraffito, line and/or pattern.
