 (IDEA) i decided to make a dog..  i had a dog that passed recently so i made a dog.  i used to walk my dog everyday. 

(PROCESS) i made a couple balls of clay then i rolled them out to make the torso and head. then i took pinches of clay and rolled them out for the legs. and tail.  i didnt use any tools for this or any techniques.

(SYMBOLISM & ICONOGRAPHY) it doesnt have meaning i just wanted a dog magnet. i think theyll think its a dog?  

(ARTISTIC GROWTH) using slip was difficult espeacally in the small areas. i used smaller wooden stick with a smaller tip to get into the tigh spaces.  

(VISUAL VOICE) its non- objective. i didnt make it for anything specific i just wanted to make a dog. (Realistic, Abstract, Surreal, Non-Objective?). 

(IDEA)my idea was to have a pitcher that i could use to fill other glasses. i just wanted to make a circular style pitcher but it ended up like that.?  Inspirations from life experiences? no.  Another Artwork? no.

(PROCESS) i started with the walls and made them to where they could connesct. then i sliped the seem so it would stay in place then i pinced the sides together to get the sides strong. then i added the botton the same way and then i smothed everything out.. sponge, butter knife stick thing. needle point stick thing.

(SYMBOLISM & ICONOGRAPHY)it doesnt mean anything. i want to people to think its a nice piece of work. no

(ARTISTIC GROWTH) connecting the walls to make the vessel but the after that getting the bottom to stay on was hard aswell.  i just kept trying different things till it worked. everything because it needed to be bigger.

(VISUAL VOICE) realistic.?  (Realistic, Abstract, Surreal, Non-Objective?). i try to used as little of tools as possible i like to by hand look. i love the hand made look.

(IDEA) my idea is a bowl.  i got the idea because it was an assignment and i want to pass. i used a bowl as a child.

(PROCESS) i used a foam circle put the clay on therie and tapped it down to get the bowl shape. after pressing the patteren. .  foam circle. roller thing. and a texture mat.

(SYMBOLISM & ICONOGRAPHY) it doesnt have meaning i just made it look nice.?  i want the audiance to think its a nice bowl.  Is there any symbolic imagery in the work? no.

(ARTISTIC GROWTH) making sure the patteren stays on the clay.?  i had to do it multiple times .?  nothing it was fun and easy.

(VISUAL VOICE) realistic.?  (Realistic, Abstract, Surreal, Non-Objective?).made by hand. i love how it is hand made.
