Nature plate

My idea was to make a small island with a volcano with lava spewing out . I first started out with a big bulky chunk of clay and molded it into a plate. then I added the volcano and some trees. After that I made the river flowing through the middle. Some of the tools that I used were I used a metal needle a lot to make the design. This artwork is expressive and its supposed to show the beauty of a very dangerous thing (The Volcano).The most difficult thing for me was to make the volcano because it couldn't be too big or too small.Some of the things I did that I had to overcome was I accidentally added the trees before the river so it was hard to move around the volcano but I did it.. If i had to change one thing about my plate, that thing would be to make a small house. I feel like it is a little plain without that. The thing I like most about this is the color. It has very bright colors and it matches what it would actually be in real life.
