Project Two for Schools without Ceramics Facilities:
Design a plate


Suitable for Key Stage 2 and up.


Stage 2

Make up two sheets with this image.One sheet should have a smaller version repeated, the other just one larger image.

Hand out to the students

Referring to their drawings from the gallery and their design sheets from the last session, students should select the technique/s and image they feel would be most appropriate to use to decorate the plate. They need to decide whether or not they wish to use the same image in the centre of the plate and on the rim. They should also think about how easy their design would be to repeat, if they were making a dinner set. Use the sheet with the smaller plates on to test the different designs and then do the final version on the large one.
