Ephesus 2 - Tiles

Celsus Library

It has been a few weeks since we got back from Ephesus, during that time you have been assigned a number of sketches to do related to the architecture of the Celsus Library. Your next assignment in Grade 8 is to create a façade of the library in clay tiles. Each of you will be assigned a section of the library to draw and then re-create in clay as a tile. When all the tiles are completed we will assemble them into one large piece. The above photo leads to a link on Flickr where you will find a photo set called Ephesus Tiles. In that set are all the pieces (tiles) individually numbered. You will need to use the picture corresponding with your assigned tile to complete your section of the finished library.

Grade 8 Studio Work
  1. Choose your tile for the library
  2. Using the photocopy (I have these in a folder) sketch the essential elements for your tile
  3. Check the photograph on the Flickr set - Ephesus Tiles for detail and nuance
  4. Finalize sketch to size
When everybody has completed their tile drawings we will talk about how to transfer the idea to clay.
