Week 12

Pictures of my new project and finished Organic sculpture.

Week 12

Today I am going to clean up the drips on the spikes and plan out the shape for my next handbuilding project. Yes, I have finished glazing all of my first quarter projects and I am starting to plan out my new ones.

Organic sculpture

I used emphasis and balance in my piece. Emphasis is on the spikes and balance is the use of the spikes on all four the sides. The look of the final piece is really good, I learned how fragile a piece like this and how much extra care it takes to make a piece like this one. I also learned that the larger and more complex the faster you have to work so all of the pieces on the project do not dry out before your finished. Have a set plan before you use any clay.

Teapot

This project requires throwing many pieces and it is interesting to see so many little pieces come together to make a great final piece. I learned that they are harder to make then I originally thought and I took away that even though the pieces might not be perfect seperate but when they are put together they can turn out great.
