爱心碗：用艺术帮助他人

几年前，我校成立了“美术助力俱乐部”，旨在支持学校的艺术课程。作为该俱乐部组织的活动之一，我们发起了名为 “爱心碗” 的项目，其灵感大致源自非营利组织Empty Bowls（空碗）的理念。核心概念是：为慈善目的而上釉的陶瓷碗与盘子。

我们的目标是凝聚成一个集体，彼此相识，并通过一次艺术服务实践，为有需要的人群提供切实帮助。

所需材料： *素烧米饭碗，3英寸×5½英寸，每包12只，玛瑶（Mayco） Coupe 正餐盘，直径9¾英寸，每箱12只，玛瑶（Mayco）素烧专用描线釉与奇妙釉套装A——1品脱装——共12色混装，水杯、画笔、纸巾

捐赠食品物资

我们未选择为慈善机构募捐资金，而是采取更简便的方式——直接捐赠食品物资。 美术助力俱乐部慷慨承担了素烧碗的费用（*素烧米饭碗，3英寸×5½英寸，每包12只），美术组则提供了釉料。今年我们新增了盘子作为可选上釉对象——大受欢迎！（*玛瑶（Mayco） Coupe 正餐盘，直径9¾英寸，每箱12只）

我们联系了一家本地慈善机构（*Reveal Resource Center（启明资源中心）），该机构向困难人群发放食品与衣物。我们向其了解当前最紧缺的食品种类，得知是金枪鱼罐头与汤类罐头。于是，我们请每位参与者为每只完成上釉的碗，捐赠5罐金枪鱼或4罐汤。

我们鼓励全体家庭成员（不限年龄）前来参加晚间活动；现场配有音乐与茶点。活动气氛热烈，募集到大量食品！

助力“爱心碗”活动顺利开展的小贴士：

1. 请参与者至少提前3周报名（RSVP）。
2. 报名时须注明出席人数、选择制作碗的人数、选择制作盘子的人数（每人限选其一）。
3. 设定年龄限制，要求____岁及以下儿童须由家长陪同参加。
4. 在活动前一周向所有已报名者发送邮件提醒：
5. 活动日期、时间、地点。
6. 请穿着不怕沾染釉料的衣物（釉料可水洗）。
7. 同时提示大家提前构思希望绘制的图案，并自带参考图片。
8. 在入口处张贴海报，含欢迎语与入门指引：
9. 请将罐装食品放入门口篮中，并按食品种类分类摆放。
10. 领取一只碗，前往指定桌位。
11. 每张工作台均张贴清晰操作说明（我使用了台卡形式）。
12. 提供小份零食。

“爱心碗”与“爱心盘”制作流程：

1. 按预约就座，并领取对应数量的碗或盘。
2. 使用黑色彩铅在碗或盘底部写明自己的名字、姓氏与年份。
3. 选取釉料

7. 上釉操作——请分层进行！
8. 切勿给碗底上釉。
9. 先涂背景色——需涂2–3遍；再于其上添加细节。细节务必最后绘制。
10. 完成之后（请根据实际情况调整表述）
11. 将完成作品置于紫色桌子上的木制托盘中。
12. 将画笔放入1号水槽中的“Crayola”（绘儿乐）肥皂水桶内清洗；冲洗水杯后倒扣于黑色沥水架上。

Bowls of LoveUsing Art to Help Others

A couple years ago my school started a Fine Arts Booster Club the help support our arts programs. One of the events that we started doing as a group is what we call “Bowls of Love” which is loosely based on the concept of the Empty Bowls non-profit organization.  Basic concept: Ceramic bowls and plates glazed for a charity.

Our objective was to come together as a group, get to know each other, and provide a benefit to those who might be in need through an artistic act of service.

Supplies: *Bisque Rice Bowl, 3 X 5-1/2 in, Pack of 12, Mayco Coupe Dinner Plate, 9-3/4 Inches Diameter, Case of 12, Mayco Stroke and Coat Wonderglaze for Bisque Set A – 1 Pint – Set of 12 – Assorted Colors, water cups, paint brushes, paper towels

Donating Food Items

Instead of raising money for a charity we decided to keep it much easier and donate food items. The fine arts booster club generously paid for the cost of the bowls (*Bisque Rice Bowl, 3 X 5-1/2 in, Pack of 12), the art department donated the glazes. This year we added plates as an option to glaze-BIG HIT! (*Mayco Coupe Dinner Plate, 9-3/4 Inches Diameter, Case of 12)

We found a local charity that gives food and clothes to the needy (*Reveal Resource Center). We asked them what types of food they we low on, which was tuna & soup. The group was  asked to bring either 5 cans of tuna or 4 cans of soup for each bowl that was glazed.

We encouraged families (all ages) to come for the evening; we had music and refreshments. It was a great time and lots of food was donated!

Tips to Help the Bowls Event Run Smoothly:

1. Have people RSVP at least 3 weeks in advance.
2. They must rsvp with the number attending and how many want to do bowls and how many want to do plates. (Only one per person)
3. Set an age limit and require parent to attend with ages ____ and under.
4. Send an email reminder a week out to all who have RSVP’d:
5. Date, Time, Location.
6. Wear something you don’t mind getting glaze on. (It is washable)
7. I also add for them to be thinking of  what they would like to glaze and to bring a reference picture.
8. Make a poster to place by the entry door with welcome and starting instructions.
9. Please place canned food in the baskets by the door. Please sort by food type.
10. Pick up a bowl & take it to a table.
11. Set up tables with instructions posted at every table. (I made table tents)
12. Offer small snacks.

Bowls & Plate of Love Procedure:

1. Choose a seat & pick up a bowl or plate as you reserved.
2. Use a BLACK COLORED PENCIL to write your first, last name & YEAR on the BOTTOM of the bowl or plate.
3. Getting Glazes
4. Look on the Ceramic Glazes chart to choose your colors. Choose only 3 colors to start with.
5. Get a paint palette and post-it note from the glaze cart. Write the numbers of the colors you use on the post-it note.
6. Shake the glaze first. Squeeze glaze into the “well” so it is ½ full. Be care to not overfill- you can always come back for more!
7. GLAZING-think in LAYERS!
8. DON’T PAINT THE BOTTOM
9. Paint BACKGROUNDS FIRST-2-3 coats, then add details on top. Details should be painted LAST.
10. When Finished (change it to fit your situation)
11. Place finished pottery on Wood Tray that is on the purple table.
12. Place paintbrushes in the “Crayola” soapy water bucket in sink #1. Rinse out water cup & place upside down in the black dish rack.
13. Bowls will be ready to be picked up on ____, _________. Please come to the art room to get them.
