If possible include what you think the technique used might be

Ideas to guide your search:

#1 Find a plate that uses multiple combined Slab Shapes to create the overall form

#2 Find a plate that uses one type of shape or line to create a Surface Design. See if you can identify the way it is organized, which Principle of Design is used…

#3 Find a Plate or other form (may have different use/function i.e. wall clock, plaque)
that utilizes an interesting non geometric outer shape.

Consider:
Why do we add Design to our household every day items?

Why do we like shape so much? What other things to we make into fun shapes?
