What to consider when making a vertical form?

1. PROPORTION Pay attention to size relationship. How tall is it related to how high it is?

2. RIM A rim can make the form look like you intended it to be whatever it is instead of simply running out of clay at the top.

3. LINES Design lines are well defined edges and changes in contour. A form with definite changes in contour may look more intentional and less accidental - if that is the feeling you are after.

4. DECORATION Make the decoration relate to the form in ways which enhance the form. Consider repetition and expressiveness. Use symbols or abstract marks. Consider the size and shapes of the blanks areas just as much as areas you fill in.
