Late Twentieth Century Contemporary Art
Brighter Colors/Bolder Glazes
More elaborate shapes
More functional
Also some pieces can be very simplistic
Why?
I chose this time period because I’ve always loved
simplistic art pieces and contemporary art. It’s very
functional and bold.
My piece is a mug, my mug has many qualities most
late 20th century contemporary clay would have,
such as simplicity ands smooth shapes, and will be
glazed with a bold glaze. It’s also functional.
