I made a sculpture of the periodic element Sulfur. I added the atomic number of Sulfur, a meteor because meteors contain large amounts of sulfur,  and a blue background to show that the meteor is falling from the sky. I made this by first, sculpting the clay into the specific pieces that I want. Next, I made indents in the clay and used the score and slip method to attach all of the different objects on to the main block so it would stick. Finally, I glazed it to get the colors I needed for all of it to come together. Some areas that I could improve on in my ceramics making is making more distinct and noticeable objects for it to look nicer and make more sense. That is my Ceramics project.

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 peach for the crystal project to represent Georgia and what Georgia is known, and for the paper, I chose to make a butterfly which symbolizes peace and prosperity and that is something everyone enjoys. Bending the paper was difficult and next time I would like to make it bigger and possibly add more color contrast to make it noticeable in the PBL. On the day of the showcase, our work was featured alongside performances representing cultures around the world.

In this class, we made a mini golf hole. To make this golf hole, we used carboard, pipe, wood, and a bunch of different materials to piece it all together.  In all, it took us about 3 and a half weeks to do and I really enjoyed building it.
