Carving a Tile: 4) Relief Carving Shapes

Heyo! This video is part 4 of my Tile Carving Series. I’ll show you how to relief carve the different shapes in your design so that there are 3 planes and a background. It is super important that you create shadows to define your shapes and that you eliminate all your drawn lines. This will make your tile design go from a lined drawing to a three dimensional carving! How exciting!

I hope you enjoy this lesson!

Carved Tile Brainstorming Worksheet: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/P...

This brainstorming worksheet will walk your ceramics students through designing a symmetrical design using a minimum of 5 shapes. They'll then carve 3 textures onto 3 of their shapes.


This lesson will help students with 3 main facets of carving:
1) Carving multiple (3) planes with overlapping shapes.
2) Learning to carve shapes into forms with movement.
3) Using carving tools to create specific natural or man-made textures.


These 3 facets of carving are essential stepping stones for students to learn before attempting more advanced sculptures.


This is usually my 2nd project in Ceramics 1 with mostly 9th graders.
