Im a following my teachers outline to do the powerpoint, and im doing the Incas and i had to make an art piece. Basically i got everything finished except this slide and i still dont get it its called Contribution to Ceramic Art History, i have friends said its what i understand while doing it or someone said something to show the difference of past to now or hook it up to the incans work. Im not sure would u give me an example thank u
it means what your research work has contributed to art history every potter has their own 'take' on art and because it is so hands on your piece is unique and must be added into the whole body or art history as it too could be found hundreds of years from now and what would people make of it so you have made some sort of homage to the ceramic work of the Incas and this is your place in the history - I always feel - when I pot - some link to all the men and women in the past who made for family reasons - to hold water and grain and party drinks something that links us to all that family life and as far as I know clay was never used for war so just by being part of that chain you have entered into the collective memory and have a piece that even if it gets broken can be found and analysed in the future to determine its origin.
