Ceramic Artist Statement

This is my ceramic art tile for visual art. I created this piece of art for the element tile assignment where we all got assigned an element

This is My Favorite Things ceramic artwork. It included a planet that was meant to be a basketball, money, and a computer mouse. In the beginning, I started with clay and made a rectangle to place items on. I molded a basketball, mouse, and money with the clay and used my knowledge of how to get the items to stay on the base rectangle. After this, I put it into the kiln and got it hard so I could then add color to it. After I got done adding color, I put it back into the kiln to get the final result as shown. The kiln relates to chemistry since the clay getting hard is a chemical reaction. The next time I will be more careful painting my ceramic since I spilled some of the colors on the basketball which messed it up and caused me to make it a planet.

Solomon Earley - Deeply Rooted

DEEPLY ROOTED

Deeply Rooted was a whole grade level project for 2nd quarter, which sought to answer how symbols can reflect cultural differences and similarities. We researched the use of symbols around the world and came up with our own symbols that reflect our modern lives. In Art class we created hand made paper and Borax crystals which we used to make symbols. I chose to make a pretzel, which symbolizes luck and prosperity. In other parts of the world, pretzels have been associated with religious traditions, such as being given to children during Lent in Christian communities. In general, pretzels are a symbol of celebration and enjoyment. Bending the paper was difficult and next time I would like to make it bigger and possibly add more layers to make it noticeable int the PBL. On the day of the showcase, our work was featured alongside performances representing cultures around the world.
