A Word About Creativity 
Before we discuss our first prompt and brainstorm ideas for the project, we need to understand how to get ideas and be creative.

Many students say, "I am just not creative," however   
     many people who work in and understand creative fields 
     know that, "Nothing is completely original, all 
     creative work builds on what came before."- 
     Austin Kleon (2012) 

Many creative people are no more naturally creative than others, 
      they just know how to research ideas, make 
      connections between those ideas formulate their 
      own opinions, and generate "new" work that is a 
      reflection of their own research and ideas. This is 
      where your sketchbook / visual journal come into   
      play, it is a place to store the evidence for your creativity and 
      thought process before creating your sculptures and
      ceramics, during the building and glazing, all the way through 
      to the end    
      finished product. 

How Will I STEAL IDEAS LIKE AND ARTIST?
So, when given your first prompt, you will be shown tools to help 
      you think, and more importantly research ideas creatively. 
      We will discuss using webs and mapping you and your peers 
      thoughts to visually link ideas from one to another, as well as 
      use visual and textual resources to draw inspiration from. 
Sketchbook / Visual Journal
After researching ideas that are related to your prompt, you will narrow in one ones that you find visually compelling, 
        emotionally fullfilling, or structurally interesting and start sketching your own project ideas. Please remember that all of 
        your research (including text from books, pictures form magazines, color searches for ideas) will be recorded within your 
        sketchbook or visual journal.

What is a Prompt?
In art and writing, or any creative endeavor a prompt is a staring point.
          Prompt -  " to move or induce to action; to occasion or incite; inspire"

How are we Using Prompts in Ceramics 2?
     As a ceramics student you should know the most basic forms of creating with     
     clay Pinching, Coiling, Slab Building, and Wheel Throwing. These 
     techniques of building are what your projects were based around as a 
     Ceramics 1 student. 

Why are We Using Prompts to Create our Projects?
     1. 21st Century Learner: In Ceramics 2, a prompt is designed to force you to think more independently and more 
                     creatively. In the 21st century more and more jobs are looking for young people who are flexible thinkers,  
                     creative thinkers, problem solvers, and a people who can see and make connections between to two seemingly 
                     unrelated ideas. These skills along with many others are directly supported by creative prompts and       
                     are skills that you will be better off having in whatever field you choose to pursue.
     2. Self-Expression/ Self Values: In this class what techniques you use to    
                     create your work isn't as important as what your work represents or means and what that tells the Viewers of   
                     your work about your thoughts and opinions as an artist and a person. 
     3. Visual Communication: Today's modern world is a very visual culture. 
                     We understand a lot of the world through what we see, read, experience in Movies, Books, Advertisements,      
                     Television, Video Games and much more.
