Totem Poles

Storytelling is done in many ways... the Totem Pole is a great example of visual storytelling.

Your objective- is to create your character or setting in the story we will compile.
Yes, this is a bit backwards.... but creativity comes in many different forms and sometimes our best stuff has yet been planned out.

1..  Sketch the slab creation : character / setting
2..  Begin on your slap - providing a space to connect the clay when complete
3..  You MUST work hard to make sure you are connecting clay correctly - Scratch and Wet in order to Connect
4..  Be mindful of what you are doing.  Small pieces dry fast - make them be a part of your FINAL detailing and cleaning of your piece

5..  Be Creative.  Think hard on what is the most important part to create in order for the person looking at your work to know what kind of character or setting they are looking at.
