✍🏽 Clay Technique Research Question & Hypothesis

Individually, students draft a focused research question for their Clay Portrait Investigation Notebook (e.g., how smoothing vs. visible tool marks affects perceived calmness). They write a specific hypothesis predicting what peer feedback will show and provide a brief rationale referencing observations from the gallery and historical context. Students then exchange notebooks with a partner for feedback using a checklist (clear technique, measurable outcome, testable within one week).
