Sgraffito Clay Tile

I’m calling this project Dark and Twisty because this tile is of Meredith grey from Grey’s Anatomy and in the show she is known as ‘Dark and Twisty’. I chose to create this specific work because I love Grey’s Anatomy and she is my favorite Character. I tried to make a twisty background to make the effects that she too was dark and twisty.

For materials, I used clay. I used a variety of techniques and methods including: glazing and scratching. While creating this work, I paid close attention to making sure that the scrubs could be easily identified and I did that by making sure that I showed where the shadows of the scrubs were. I wanted my artwork to be a fun piece and I did that by making it out of my favorite TV show.

I like the way my work looks realistic. However, I struggled with her face because it’s hard to make fine lines in clay. I wanted to show her as a person and I did that by reflecting it into the background. If I created another work like this I may have done black glaze to make it look cleaner. My work shows that I learned how to make a piece of work that looks like a person.
