This session explored the shard and how it is used by archaeologists and historians to construct history. Due to the physical properties of ceramic the material is hard to destroy and as a consequence pieces are often found during excavations of the earth. Within the session we began by drawing a ceramic pot, which was then smashed and divided out as shards. These were then drawn upon with self portraits and painted. The finished shards will be buried for future generations to find.
