Create a decorative design for your cup. Remember, you may use colour, texture or clay to add decorative techniques. Draw a handle design as well for your cup. Add required colour. The circle next to the cup is an aerial shot of the interior. Decorate that as well. Create 4 designs. This is a formative assessment for "section A" on the rubric.
