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.
