  1. TrompeL’oeil-means “to trick the eye” technique involving extremely realistic imagery in order to create an optical illusion

  4. Objective:Students will create an original clay trompel’oeil of a familiar object using various construction and decorative techniques learned during the semester

  5. Steps • Choose a familiar object that you feel you can construct successfully. The object should appear real and not made out of clay. • Talk with Mrs. Madrayabout ideas and create a sketch • Begin construction. You can use any of the techniques we have used this semester such a pinching, coil, or slabs. The sculpture should be in the round, not flat. • It should be life size. Therefore, it will most likely need to be hollowed out!

  6. What works well… • Everyday objects such as… • Trash • Board games • Clothing items • Food or candy • Accessories

  7. What doesn’t work • Anything glass • Large items • Items that are already made out of clay…duh. No mugs or bowls.
