Let it Dry and Add
Paint part one part and let it dry. Then come back and paint the next part.
Wet on wet (wash)
Wet the paper first (not too much, No Puddles!) Then apply an even coat of color across the entire wet area. The color will go only as far as the wet area.
Wash with Salt Texture
Wet the paper first (not too much), wash then sprinkle salt and let it dry. Rub the salt off after it’s dried.
Wash with Plastic Texture
Complete a wash then crumple plastic wrap over the wash and let it dry before peeling the plastic off.
Wax Resist
First you draw a design on DRY paper with crayon, then add a wash over the top ( or wet paint on top).
Wet on Dry
The paper is dry when you paint, so the colors shouldn’t run.
Graded(Wet-on-Wet) wash
The paper is wet before you add paint. Then you go back and forth with the brush, pulling it down the paper until all the color is gone. Let the paint fade lighter as you move the brush across.
Watercolor Pencil
This can be used two ways. First you can draw and then add water, Second you can draw directly on wet paper.
Wedging
kneading the clay like bread dough to mix the clay and eliminate air bubble.
Slab
a clay hand building technique that uses flatten pieces of clay.
Pinch
a clay hand building technique that uses hollow bowls shaped by pressing an opening into a ball of clay.
Coil
a clay hand building technique that uses rope-like pieces of clay.
Score

Revise
when you think your sculpture is completed, stop and think about what else you can do to make your sculpture better.
Hollow
when there is space or air inside an enclosed object.
Kiln
a heated enclosure, similar to an oven, for firing clay.
Fire
to bake the clay so that it is solid and will keep its shape permanently.
Glaze
a glass-like coating on the outside will keep its shape of ceramics.
Recycle
re-used dried clay instead of throwing it away (mix the clay with water, let soak, and then wedge).
Bone Dry (Greenware)
when the clay has dried out completely and there is no more water left inside of the clay. Once ceramics are at this stage, they can be bisque fired.
