My favorite artwork is the flower pot. This is because I was able to practice a new technique and it turned out very well. If I could redo an artwork, I would redo the set/multiple artwork. I would want to put the glaze on so it would not peel off, and make my prank kettle actually work. In this class I learned the mishima technique that I will want to use outside of class. I wish I could have used the wheel or had more time to make a sculpture. I also would have liked to see what working with blue clay would be like.

With this sculpture I wanted to express movement and imbalance. I purposefully decided to create something that was made of organic shapes, and made lines that represented shadows. This was supposed to mimic water or fire. I envision this artwork in the courtyard. The glazes I used were electric blue, mosaic blue, obsidian black, and green thumb.
I was inspired by Kaname Takada. I especially wanted to try his inlay technique. I used obsidian on these artworks and shiney black for the inside. I also used a black underglaze for the delay technique. The design that I used was to bring all of the very different looking pieces together. To make this I out an underglaze on the clay while it was wet and carved my design into the clay. I wanted to see what I could do to experiment with tea sets. I made a teacup, teapot, and a dysfunctional teapot. I wanted to experiment with these artworks. They are all obsidian black with curvy horizontal lines carved into the sides. I wanted to see if I could make a ceramic peice that was useful, or in the case of the broken teapot, something that interacted with water in an interesting way. I am very proud of the teapot and cup, but I really do not like the broken teapot.
For this artwork I used charcoal, paper, clay, carving tools, and glazes. To leave an impression on the clay, I made a charcoal drawing, made a slab, and placed the drawing face-down on the clay. After that I took a spoon and pressed the drawing into the clay with the spoon. Then the impression was there and I was able to carve out the leaf. I learned that using a charcoal transplant is a very useful tool, especially in slab artworks.
I used the artist skills of observation by using reference images for my artwork. I also used envision to predict what I would make and what struggles I would need to overcome. I used Hot Tamale, Light Rose, brown, and rose glazes.
I used "develope craft" by practicing my coil pot technique. I engaged and persisted by pushing forward when I used a square base when I started, and rather than starting over, I decided to cut them off. The glazes I used were...
I used the studio habit of developing a craft by working with slabs. I do not often like to work with slabs, so it was different for me. I also used the studio habit of Engage and Persist by continuing to work on my box when the handle did not go on the right way. The glazes that I used are: Spotted Kiwi, Grey, Electric blue, Terocada brown, black, white, and yardo.
In making these rollers I really developed the craft of working with hot glue. I do not usually sculpt with hot glue. I also practiced my ability to envision and execute an artistic goal by creating this design so well.
For this artwork, I exercised observation by creating this observational sculpture based off a skull I used for a model. I also practiced developing a craft by perfecting my score-and-attach method. The glaze I used for this artwork is "Shiney Black."
I used the studio habit of Engage and persist by persisting when the artwork did not go my way. I was disappointed that I would not get the pots as smooth, but I found out I could smooth the pots when they were leather-hard. I was also developing the craft of working with clay and developing more skills such as using the back of my nail to smooth the artwork. On the spoon holder, I used the glade called "Hot Tamale."For the smaller of the two pots, I used "Irish Green,"and"Haitian Blue."For the largest pinch pot I used "Hot Tamale"and"Sassy Orange."
