YEAR 9:CERAMIC RESEARCH
PROJECT
LEARNING PURPOSE
LO1: I will gain knowledge of
contemporary artists works and how
it can develop my coursework
theme and therefore final pieces.
LO2: I will conduct relevant online
research to source imagery and
artists to inspire my Ceramic/ 3D
sculpture.
Prior Learning
• Recently studying/ researching your
2D.
• Completing Artist Analysis using the guidance sheet.
• Using a range of media to make
portfolio improvements.
Future Learning
• Development of thematic ideas.
• Collecting relevant imagery for your
theme.
• Improving your observational skill
towards AO3.
• Improving your written analytical
skill.
• Expanding media knowledge.
Specialist Vocabulary: Artist, Reproduction, Line, Continuous, Scale, Proportion, Upscaling, Observation, Tone, Highlights, Shadows, Texture, Mark-Making, Media, Refinement
CERAMIC FINAL PIECES – STUDENT EXAMPLES
You now need to begin to brainstorm ideas
towards your 3D final sculpture, which will be
made alongside our Artist in Residence during
YR11. Your 3D artwork needs to have clear links
to your subject matter/ theme. Therefore, you
should source images/artists which will aid your
3D design drawings.

TASK ONE:
You need to conduct online research using Pinterest (or
other sources) to find at least 5 relevant 3D artists which
reflect your personalised theme.
It is highly important you take into consideration your
theme/ subject matter. Consider the 2D artists you have
chosen, ask yourself;
• What are the key objects the artwork depict?
• What meaning do the objects have in the artworks?
Use the school Pinterest links below to find quality artists
to support your theme.

CERAMIC ARTIST REFERENCEGRADE 6 GRADE 8 GRADE 9
REMEMBER AS YOU ARE VIEWING ARTIST WORK ASK YOURSELF; WHAT GRADE WOULD I GIVE THAT ARTWORK
FOR GCSE?
ABOVE ARE EXAMPLE OF OTHER STUDENTS ‘ARTIST REPRODUCTION’ OF 3D SCULPTURES.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT ARTWORKS NEED TO HAVE CLEAR LINKS TO YOUR THEME AND YOU WILL
NEED TO BE ABLE TO DRAW AT LEAST 1 OF THESE SCULPTURE ON YOUR RETURN TO SCHOOL.
CERAMIC/ 3D RESEARCHTASK TWO:
You should now produce a minimum of a 6 page PowerPoint presentation showcasing your
ceramic/ 3D Artists Research.
6 PAGE POWERPOINT SLIDE GUIDANCE
• Title Page (1 PAGE) – Your Name, your project title and 3 IMAGES which showcase your 2D
chosen artists. We would also ask you brainstorm key subject matters which could feature in
your 3D final sculpture.
• Ceramic Research (5 PAGES) – 2 Ceramic/ 3D images per page (Good quality and large
scale).
• Analysis – Add guidance notes explaining why you choose these artworks to influence your
final ceramic sculpture.
You need to set up your PowerPoint correctly so this can be easily printed on your return to
school.
On the top bar select ‘DESIGN’ and then select ‘SLIDE SIZE’ and finally select ‘STANDARD’.
USE THE NEXT TWO SLIDES AS EXAMPLARS! YOU WILL NEED TO REPEAT THE SECOND
SLIDE A TOTAL OF 5 TIMES.

Raku fired ceramic crow By Sallie Wakley;
ceramic; 15.75 x 16.5 ins (40 x 42 cms)
This artwork shows inlay to form the layering of
the feathers, this is a textural technique which
could influence my final piece.
Anna-Wili Highfield, Cotton Paper Sculpture.
I have included this research as I think I would
like to include multiple bird forms in my final
sculpture.
SUMMARYSubmission of Todays Task- You will need to send your PowerPoint or alternative
document to your Art Teacher by the end of the School day. The expectations
are outlined below:
6 PAGE POWERPOINT SLIDE
