Ceramics Coil Pot Rubric

The following  qualities should be evident in order to be in the category you choose

5.

  You have completed all of the coil pots ( one ten to twelve inches tall ,one ten to twelve inches wide and one asymetrical pot).One of the three pots is decorated with one of the methods you have learned and the decoration enhances the beauty of the pot.   All of the pots are as close as possible to the drawings you did before you started making the pots( you can prove this and you didn't do the drawings after you made the pots)  There are not any cracks in the pots which could result in the pot separating upon firing.  Both pots have a nice shape and are pleasing to look at.   Two of your pots are very symmetrical.  Neither pot sags or has a caved down area because you did not stop and let the pot firm up before continuing coiling.  Both pots are not to heavy for their size.  You used your time wisely so you did not rush this assignment or you made one pot over if it wasn't to your high standards.  You are pleased with your pots, have showed them to your friends, would display both of them in an exhibit, and you are planning to give one to someone you care about or keep for your collection.
